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 001430991 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed April 21, 2021). 001430991 650_0 $$aQuantum computing. 001430991 650_0 $$aQuantum computers. 001430991 650_6 $$aInformatique quantique. 001430991 650_6 $$aOrdinateurs quantiques. 001430991 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001430991 7001_ $$aIsaacson, Joshua,$$eauthor. 001430991 7001_ $$aPerry, Anastasia,$$eauthor. 001430991 7001_ $$aSun, Ranbel F.,$$eauthor. 001430991 7001_ $$aTurner, Jessica,$$eauthor. 001430991 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783030616007$$w(OCoLC)1195444756 001430991 852__ $$bebk 001430991 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-61601-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.2 001430991 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1430991$$pGLOBAL_SET 001430991 980__ $$aBIB 001430991 980__ $$aEBOOK 001430991 982__ $$aEbook 001430991 983__ $$aOnline 001430991 994__ $$a92$$bISE
