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.

Who is this book 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.

After a brief intro to quantum computing, most of the first half of Dances with Qubits covers the fundamentals required for increasing understanding of quantum computing. These fundamentals are taught in an approachable manner, and include basic computer science and relevant math, geometric representations, linear algebra, probability, and complexity theory.Dances with Qubits is an excellent resource, including as a textbook in the classroom, and as a reference for those learning and experimenting with quantum computing.

Great intro with great review of topics needed.

A very detailed and complex book, requested by my son for his career. He was please with it and got straight into it.

Amazon Customer Nov 06, 2020

Awesome book. The way author explained quantum computing is the best way to learn it. All the mathematical derivations are there. If someone finishes reading this book all the concepts will be very clear. Very helpful in my experience.

This book is very comprehensive. It explains circuit diagrams, basic quantum algorithms and their physical implementation. In doing so, it does not shy away from mathematical foundations of quantum concepts - it discusses the mechanics of the quantum circuits and explains their mathematical representation. However, in contrast to many other books in this field, it provides a complete and excellent introduction to all mathematics needed to understand these key concepts. This is the strongest point of the book, especially for those who did their math training a while ago or missed on some of its important parts, such as complex numbers, geometry, linear algebra or probability theory. Great book to keep as a reference for your future readings.
