Quantum computing is making us change the way we think about computers. Quantum bits, a.k.a. qubits, can make it possible to solve problems that would otherwise be intractable with current computing technology.

Dancing with Qubits starts with an overview of why quantum computing is so different from classical computing and describes several industry use cases where it can have a major impact. From there it moves on to a fuller description of classical computing and the mathematical underpinnings necessary to understand such concepts as superposition, entanglement, and interference. Next up is circuits and algorithms, both basic and more sophisticated. It then nicely moves on to provide a survey of the physics and engineering ideas behind how quantum computing hardware is built. Finally, the book looks to the future and gives you guidance on understanding how further developments will affect you.

Really understanding quantum computing requires a lot of math, and this book doesn't shy away from the necessary math concepts you'll need. Each topic is introduced and explained thoroughly, in clear English with helpful examples.

What you will learn:

• See how quantum computing works, what makes it different, and why it is so powerful
• Discover the complex, mind-bending mechanics that underpin quantum systems
• Understand the necessary concepts behind classical and quantum computing
• Refresh and extend your grasp of essential mathematics, computing, and quantum theory
• Explore the main applications of quantum computing to the helds of scientific computing, AI, and elsewhere
• Examine a detailed overview of qubits, quantum circuits, and quantum algorithms

Some digital photos of wood engravings, halftones, or other very detailed black-and-white illustrations from books and magazines may appear in our listings to contain a hint of magenta or green. These are moiré patterns caused by digital photography of high-detail repeating patterns, and the colors are not present the original illustrations.

NOTE: There may be more images in this listing than shows in the top \"gallery\". Be sure to scroll down to view the full set, if so.

Orders will be sent out the next business day (Monday–Friday) after receipt of payment. Books are sent USPS Media Rate within the US, and other small items are sent USPS Ground Advantage. Magazines, comic books, and other material that contain advertising or branding cannot be sent Media Rate.

I\'ll be happy to combine shipping charges for items that can be sent together, as long as they are paid for within a 4-day window. You can ask for a combined invoice if you leave the items in your Cart and then request an updated invoice when you\'re done shopping.

When you pay for an item, we are obliged to ship it to you the next business day. If it has already been shipped, we obviously cannot combine it with subsequent purchases. If we can ship multiple items together that you have paid for separately, we will refund your overpayment.

We frequently stop and re-start fixed-price listings with changes in price. When doing so, we try to avoid stopping and editing the price of items on which we have sent offers, but occasionally this can happen due to automated scripts.

If you have bought something, but are waiting for a some other sale item to finish before paying, please send an explicit message to us to let us know.
