A fast-growing field at the intersection of physics and computer science, quantum computing promises to have revolutionary capabilities far surpassing “classical” computation. Getting a grip on the science behind the hype can be tough: at its heart lies quantum mechanics, whose enigmatic concepts can be imposing for the novice. This classroom-tested textbook uses simple language, minimal math, and plenty of examples to explain the three key principles behind quantum computers: superposition, quantum measurement, and entanglement. It then goes on to explain how this quantum world opens up a whole new paradigm of computing. The book bridges the gap between popular science articles and advanced textbooks by making key ideas accessible with just high school physics as a prerequisite. Each unit is broken down into sections labelled by difficulty level, allowing the course to be tailored to the student’s experience of math and abstract reasoning. Problem sets and simulation-based labs of various levels reinforce the concepts described in the text and give the reader hands-on experience running quantum programs. This book can thus be used at the high school level after the AP or IB exams, in an extracurricular club, or as an independent project resource to give students a taste of what quantum computing is really about. At the college level, it can be used as a supplementary text to enhance a variety of courses in science and computing, or as a self-study guide for students who want to get ahead. Additionally, readers in business, finance, or industry will find it a quick and useful primer on the science behind computing’s future.Particle & high-energy physicsbicsscComputer sciencebicsscTeaching of a specific subjectbicsscQuantum PhysicsQuantum ComputingComputer Science, generalScience EducationQuantum Information Technology, SpintronicsComputer ScienceSpintronicsOpen AccessIntroduction to quantum computingquantum computing textbookquantum computing for high school studentsintroduction to quantum cryptographyquantum gatesquantum algorithmsquantum superpositionwhat is a qubit?quantum key distributionQuantum physics (quantum mechanics & quantum field theory)Mathematical theory of computationTeaching of a specific subjectScience: general issuesParticle & high-energy physicsComputer scienceTeaching of a specific subject006.3843Hughes Ciaran1022963Isaacson Joshua1022964Perry Anastasia1022965Sun Ranbel F1022966Turner Jessica1022967MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996466740903316Quantum Computing for the Quantum Curious2430134UNISA
