Quantum Computing Program Next-Gen Computers for Hard, Real-World Applications

by Nihal Mehta

Quantum computing overhauls computer science. Designing life-saving drugs and solving super-large logistics problems that are difficult or impossible for classical computers to handle are now within reach. Instead of iterating through each possible configuration one by one, quantum computing speeds up the search by giving you the tools to examine all possibilities simultaneously to find those that work. Now you can work with real quantum computers instead of just talking about them theoretically.

Discover qubits, the fundamental elements of quantum computing. Learn what makes them different from classical bits. Model complex problems with logic gates specifically tailored for quantum computing. See how quantum mechanics offers ways to write programs that examine all solutions simultaneously. Create quantum circuits to solve problems that classical computers struggle with. Dive into quantum optimization and cryptography. Use the IBM Q quantum computer to both simulate quantum effects and actually run your programs on a real quantum machine.

Get a head start on the technology that will drive computer science into the future.

I wish I would have start learning quantum computing with this book first.
Nihal gives a model to understand how qubits work that is so clear, and make it stick to your mind, that it would have made me understand the other books in a better light.
