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. 606 $aParticle & high-energy physics$2bicssc 606 $aComputer science$2bicssc 606 $aTeaching of a specific subject$2bicssc 610 $aQuantum Physics 610 $aQuantum Computing 610 $aComputer Science, general 610 $aScience Education 610 $aQuantum Information Technology, Spintronics 610 $aComputer Science 610 $aSpintronics 610 $aOpen Access 610 $aIntroduction to quantum computing 610 $aquantum computing textbook 610 $aquantum computing for high school students 610 $aintroduction to quantum cryptography 610 $aquantum gates 610 $aquantum algorithms 610 $aquantum superposition 610 $awhat is a qubit? 610 $aquantum key distribution 610 $aQuantum physics (quantum mechanics & quantum field theory) 610 $aMathematical theory of computation 610 $aTeaching of a specific subject 610 $aScience: general issues 615 7$aParticle & high-energy physics 615 7$aComputer science 615 7$aTeaching of a specific subject 676 $a006.3843 700 $aHughes$b Ciaran$01022963 701 $aIsaacson$b Joshua$01022964 701 $aPerry$b Anastasia$01022965 701 $aSun$b Ranbel F$01022966 701 $aTurner$b Jessica$01022967 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996466740903316 996 $aQuantum Computing for the Quantum Curious$92430134 997 $aUNISA
