Book Description

Quantum computing is making us change the way we think about computers. Quantum bits, a.k.a. qubits, can make it possible to solve problems that would otherwise be intractable with current computing technology.

Dancing with Qubits is a quantum computing textbook that starts with an overview of why quantum computing is so different from classical computing and describes several industry use cases where it can have a major impact. From there it moves on to a fuller description of classical computing and the mathematical underpinnings necessary to understand such concepts as superposition, entanglement, and interference. Next up is circuits and algorithms, both basic and more sophisticated. It then nicely moves on to provide a survey of the physics and engineering ideas behind how quantum computing hardware is built. Finally, the book looks to the future and gives you guidance on understanding how further developments will affect you.

Really understanding quantum computing requires a lot of math, and this book doesn't shy away from the necessary math concepts you'll need. Each topic is introduced and explained thoroughly, in clear English with helpful examples.

What you will learn

  • See how quantum computing works, delve into the math behind it, what makes it different, and why it is so powerful with this quantum computing textbook
  • Discover the complex, mind-bending mechanics that underpin quantum systems
  • Understand the necessary concepts behind classical and quantum computing
  • Refresh and extend your grasp of essential mathematics, computing, and quantum theory
  • Explore the main applications of quantum computing to the fields of scientific computing, AI, and elsewhere
  • Examine a detailed overview of qubits, quantum circuits, and quantum algorithm

Who this book is for

Dancing with Qubits is a quantum computing textbook for those who want to deeply explore the inner workings of quantum computing. This entails some sophisticated mathematical exposition and is therefore best suited for those with a healthy interest in mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer science.

作者簡介

Robert S. Sutor has been a technical leader and executive in the IT industry for over 30 years. More than two decades of that have been spent in IBM Research in New York. During his time there, he worked on or led efforts in symbolic mathematical computation, optimization, AI, blockchain, and quantum computing. He is the co-author of several research papers and the book, Axiom: The Scientific Computation System with the late Richard D. Jenks.

He also was an executive on the software side of the business in areas including emerging industry standards, software on Linux, mobile, and open source. He's a theoretical mathematician by training, has a Ph.D. from Princeton University, and an undergraduate degree from Harvard College. He started coding when he was 15 and has used most of the programming languages that have come along.
