商品描述

Dive in with this hands-on introduction to quantum computing with the Microsoft Quantum Development Kit and Q# for software developers.

You may have heard about quantum computing, but what does it mean to you as a software developer? With many new developments, a resurgence in interest, and investment by some of the largest tech companies in the world to be the first to market with quantum programming (QP) hardware and platforms, it is no longer a tool in the distant future. Developers are at the forefront, now able to create applications that take advantage of QP through simulations. While the skill is of interest, for many developers, quantum computing and its implications still remains a mystery.

In this book, you will get up to speed exploring important quantum concepts and apply them in practice through writing actual quantum algorithms, using the Microsoft Quantum Development Kit. Theoretical knowledge about quantum physics, such as superposition and entanglement, will be used to explain quantum computing topics, including quantum gates, quantum circuits, and quantum algorithms. Finally, take a tour of the new Azure Quantum.

Use Q#, Microsoft's new programming language, to target quantum hardware. You will select your supporting language of choice, either C# or Python, to begin writing your quantum applications. Combined with just enough theoretical preparation, you will learn how to get your computer ready to simulate basic quantum programs using Microsoft Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code and Q#.

What You Will Learn

• Get up to speed on the platform-independent quantum tool set using the Microsoft Quantum Development Kit simulator and Visual Studio Code or Microsoft Visual Studio
• Know the basics of quantum mechanics required to start working on quantum computing
• Understand mathematical concepts such as complex numbers, trigonometry, and linear algebra
• Install the Microsoft Quantum Development Kit on a Windows or Linux PC with Visual Studio Code or Microsoft Visual Studio
• Write quantum algorithms with the Microsoft Quantum Development Kit and Q#, supported by C# or Python
• Discover insights on important existing quantum algorithms such as Deutch, Deutch-Jozsa, and the fun CHSH-game
• Get introduced to quantum as a service using the Microsoft Azure Quantum preview cloud offering

Who This Book Is For
Developers who are interested in quantum computing, specifically those software developers who are planning on using quantum computers in the future. Basic imperative programming knowledge is useful to understand the syntax and structure found in the Q# programming language. Knowledge of Microsoft C# or Python is not required since these languages are only used to support the simulation of Q# on a classical computer.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書是一本實踐導向的入門指南,介紹了微軟量子開發套件和 Q# 量子程式語言,讓軟體開發人員能夠深入了解量子運算。

你可能聽說過量子運算,但作為一名軟體開發人員,這對你意味著什麼呢?隨著許多新的發展,對量子程式設計(QP)硬體和平台的興趣重新崛起,以及全球最大科技公司的投資,量子運算已不再是遙遠未來的工具。開發人員現在可以通過模擬創建利用 QP 的應用程式。儘管這項技能很有吸引力,但對於許多開發人員來說,量子運算及其影響仍然是一個謎。

在這本書中,你將通過使用微軟量子開發套件實際撰寫量子演算法,快速了解重要的量子概念並將其應用於實踐中。我們將使用量子物理學的理論知識,如超位置和纏繞,來解釋量子運算的主題,包括量子門、量子電路和量子演算法。最後,我們將介紹新的 Azure Quantum。

使用 Q#,微軟的新程式語言,來針對量子硬體進行開發。你可以選擇你喜歡的支援語言,如 C# 或 Python,來開始撰寫你的量子應用程式。結合足夠的理論準備,你將學習如何準備你的電腦,使用 Microsoft Visual Studio 或 Visual Studio Code 和 Q# 來模擬基本的量子程式。

你將學到什麼:

- 使用微軟量子開發套件模擬器和 Visual Studio Code 或 Microsoft Visual Studio,快速掌握平台獨立的量子工具集
- 了解開始進行量子運算所需的量子力學基礎知識
- 理解複數、三角學和線性代數等數學概念
- 在 Windows 或 Linux PC 上使用 Visual Studio Code 或 Microsoft Visual Studio 安裝微軟量子開發套件
- 使用微軟量子開發套件和 Q# 撰寫量子演算法,並以 C# 或 Python 作為支援語言
- 探索重要的現有量子演算法,如 Deutch、Deutch-Jozsa 和有趣的 CHSH 遊戲
- 介紹使用微軟 Azure Quantum 預覽雲服務的量子服務

適合對量子運算感興趣的開發人員,特別是那些計劃在未來使用量子電腦的軟體開發人員。對於理解 Q# 程式語言中的語法和結構,基本的命令式程式設計知識是有用的。不需要了解 Microsoft C# 或 Python,因為這些語言只用於在傳統電腦上模擬 Q#。
