Quantum Computing for Beginners

This book integrates the foundations of quantum computing with a hands-on coding approach to this emerging field, making it the first work to bring these strands together in an updated manner. Suitable for both academic coursework and corporate technical training, this volume comprises three books under one cover.

Part I outlines the necessary foundations of quantum computing and quantum circuits. Part II walks through the canon of quantum computing algorithms and provides code on a range of quantum computing methods in current use. Part III covers the mathematical toolkit required to master quantum computing. Additional resources include a table of operators and circuit elements and a companion GitHub site providing code and updates.

The author, Jack D. Hidary, is a research scientist in quantum computing and in AI at Alphabet X, formerly Google X. "Quantum Computing will change our world in unexpected ways," says Eric Schmidt, PhD, Former Chairman and CEO of Google; Founder, Innovation Endeavors. "Everything technology leaders, engineers and graduate students need is in this book including the methods and hands-on code to program on this novel platform."

This comprehensive work brings together the key elements of quantum computing, providing both the theoretical foundations and practical tools for readers to engage with this transformative technology. The three-part structure offers a logical progression, starting with the fundamental principles, then delving into algorithms and applications, and finally exploring the mathematical underpinnings. The inclusion of code samples and a dedicated online repository further enhances the hands-on learning experience.

Whether you are a student, researcher, or industry professional, this book equips you with the essential knowledge and practical skills to navigate the rapidly evolving field of quantum computing. The author's expertise, combined with the endorsement from a respected industry leader, underscores the importance and relevance of this work in shaping the future of computing.
