Quantum Computing Algorithms

Navigate the quantum computing spectrum with this book, bridging the gap between abstract, math-heavy texts and math-avoidant beginner guides. Unlike intermediate-level books that often leave gaps in comprehension, this all-encompassing guide offers the missing links you need to truly understand the subject.
Balancing intuition and rigor, this book empowers you to become a master of quantum algorithms. No longer confined to canned examples, you'll acquire the skills necessary to craft your own quantum code. Quantum Computing Algorithms is organized into four sections to build your expertise progressively.
The first section lays the foundation with essential quantum concepts, ensuring that you grasp qubits, their representation, and their transformations. Moving to quantum algorithms, the second section focuses on pivotal algorithms — specifically, quantum key distribution and teleportation.
The third section demonstrates the transformative power of algorithms that outpace classical computation and makes way for the fourth section, helping you to expand your horizons by exploring alternative quantum computing models.
By the end of this book, quantum algorithms will cease to be mystifying as you make this knowledge your asset and enter a new era of computation, where you have the power to shape the code of reality.

approach
In this book, a typical chapter has three parts. The first part describes the intuitive idea behind a quantum computing concept. The second part provides deeper insights and introduces modest mathematical tools to make the concept more precise. These first two parts mark a clear path for two different kinds of readers -- those who want a high-level overview of quantum computing’s power and those who want more precise descriptions of the technology’s inner workings.
The third part of the chapter has Python code that can run on real quantum computers on the IBM Quantum website.
audience
This book is for individuals familiar with algebra and computer programming, eager to delve into modern physics concepts. Whether you've dabbled in introductory quantum computing material or are seeking deeper insights, this quantum computing book is your gateway to in-depth exploration.
