This book integrates the foundations of quantum computing with a hands-on coding approach to this emerging field; it is the first work to bring these strands together in an updated manner. This work is suitable for
This volume comprises three books under one cover: Part I outlines the necessary foundations of quantum computing and quantum circuits. Part II walks through the canon of quantum computing algorithms and p

Reading ‘Quantum Computing – An Applied Approach’ was time and money well spent since it’s actually three books in one. As such, it is neatly organized in three major sectio
Because of that triplet packaging the book accommodates a wide band of readers. The highly useful Navigating chapter lists five classes - University Instructors, Physicists, So
So you may not want to read the book in the specific order it’s printed, and instead make your own way through content depending on your specific interests and background. H
For example, I’m in the independent Study group, so found starting with the math the best move. Since QC is spoken in Linear Algebra, not understanding its basic principles m
At any rate, there’s a five minute self-test at beginning of the math section which will help you in deciding how much attention to spend in that section. If you’re in the Business L
True to its name, the book’s focus is distinctly on applications. This is where it surpasses the many other books on QC because it has distinct advantage of being up to date, all
Many books on QC were written prior to significant advances in the last three years, with several promising results in applying QC in commercial sectors from finance to pharma
Having the latest info is vital in a dynamic area like QC. With improvements occurring regularly.. there’s an advantage of a timely publication. For example, in October 2019 Goo
AUDIENCE
Outside its obvious usefulness in a classroom, there are three discernable groups of readers who’d find this book worthwhile. First and foremost those with coding experience lo
For sure, if you’re in the latter group, then this neatly organized book will bring you up to speed on this steadily emerging technology. Even if you don’t fully absorb the more tec
STEM readers familiar with the physics and math parts, will still benefit from the extensive coverage applications receive, and certainly more current than earlier books.
The book is especially worthwhile for those with some technical exposure to this area (like programmers – as there’s plenty of places to dive into code and interact on GitHub. I
