Book Description
Quantum computing and associated technologies and ideas seem to be everywhere today, even in blockbuster movies. As a field, quantum information science only goes back a few decades, but it’s generating outsize excitement and investment in the 21st century. There’s reason for the enthusiasm, but we’re still a long way from being able to build and use these exotic machines.
In this book, author Sebastian Hassinger guides you through the foundational ideas of quantum computing, providing insight into where it came from, what it is today, and what it may be in the future.
Grounded in information science and quantum mechanics with straightforward explorations of the technology’s crucial concepts and elements, this book demystifies the field and helps you develop your quantum intuition, making it easier to learn and use the technologies available on the cloud today.
You’ll learn:
The origins of quantum information science, quantum physics, and relevant concepts
Information science and the birth and evolution of the “classical” computer industry
How quantum concepts change information science and create new potential for computation
The current state of quantum computation hardware, error correction, and algorithms
Quantum computer hype: magical thinking and reasonable expectations
Problem-solving with quantum information science and quantum computation
