Stay on top of futuristic developments in computing with this friendly, easy-to-follow-guide to the quantum realm that requires nothing more than knowing basic math.
Learn about the behavior of quantum objects and run your own quantum algorithms on the internet’s freely available quantum computers!
This book cuts through the hype and jargon to teach you how quantum computing really works — and the many useful things quantum algorithms can do for us when we gain more command over them. Author Andrew Glassner, a distinguished research scientist who works in film and television, is your friendly tour guide on this fascinating journey. He’ll quickly show you that the most accurate and objective way to capture the bizarre and unexpected behaviors of the quantum world is by using basic high-school math.
You’ll learn about the true nature of quantum objects, discover how quantum algorithms are designed, and more. By the end, you’ll be ready to write and run your own quantum algorithms on quantum computers freely available online. Whether you have a professional interest in quantum computing, a personal curiosity, or simply want to stay on top of such a radical new technology, there is no better introduction to harnessing quantum mechanics to solve complex problems big and small.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. A friendly introduction to quantum programming.A friendly introduction to quantum programming.What if you had a computer that could process billions of different inputs at the same time?Quantum computing is a radically new way to think about algorithms and data. It can feel mysterious or technically challenging, but it doesn't have to be. If you want to understand how quantum computers work-and how to program them-this friendly, self-contained guide is for you.This approachable yet rigorous book walks you step-by-step through quantum computing fundamentals, such as superposition, quantum gates, interference, entanglement, and measurement, then teaches you how to write real quantum programs.Along the way, you'll-Understand how to store and transform quantum informationGrasp the surprising process of quantum measurementExplore Simon's, Grover's, and Shor's algorithmsWrite and run your own quantum code using free simulators and live hardwareAuthor Andrew Glassner is known for turning complex topics into accessible and enjoyable learning experiences. In this book, he brings visual thinking, clarity, context, and precision to the strange and fascinating world of quantum programming. All the ideas and math are built up slowly so you'll master every step.Whether you're a programmer, student, educator, scientist, poet, or anyone else who loves new ideas that stretch your mind, this is the guide that will take you from "What is a qubit?" to writing and running working quantum algorithms with curiosity, creativity, and confidence. "An introduction to quantum computing that uses high school-level mathematics to explain the unusual behaviors of quantum computers, then expands to the formulas and techniques used in those computers' unique programs. Covers practical applications of quantum computing and guides readers to create and run their own algorithms using freely available online simulators"-- Provided by publisher.
