Quantum Computing for Everyone

Really fascinating book, great attempt to make an exotic field accessible to a broad audience and a great introduction to and explanation of both quantum physics and quantum computing. The maths are however still very present (as they are essential to the explanation itself) and - although well explained - not to be underestimated. Having studied quite some maths and had an intro course in quantum physics I can follow everything rather well, but cannot guarantee it would be the same for everyone.

Um ótimo custo benefício e fácil de levar para ler

Es un libro relativamente breve que hace lo posible para simplificar las matemáticas de algo no trivial como la mecánica cuántica. Enseña algunos algoritmos de ejemplo para que se entienda el potencial. El libro ha escogido ser breve, conciso y atemporal centrándose en : - Principios básicos de computación cuántica - Algortimos de ejemplo - La mínima matemática y física necesaria Lo que no es: - Un libro de mecánica cuántica - Un libro sobre el estado del hardware. Eso es algo que posiblemente cambie en cada momento - Un manual de física - Un libro de referencia con toda la matemática y todos los posibles algoritmos con el estado del arte Debo decir que yo parto de una formación de ingeniería que ya había dado mecánica cuántica en la carrera hace más de una década.

I am satisfied with the purchase and highly recommend it! An important note is that knowledge of mathematics (linear functions) is required to understand it. The product itself is excellent.

You get more than just a superficial overview. The author "patiently" introduces you to basic Linear Algebra early on, and uses this throughout the book to give you a good appreciation to the underlying concepts. He covers and explains many concepts extremely well and with enough mathematical meat in it. He does a very good job in repeating and spoon feeding you with the math to help clarify these difficult concepts. However, towards the end of the book there was less spoon feeding and things do get a little hairy with quantum algorithms... If anything negative, there are a few typo errors but no big deal. I would have liked the mathematical spoon feeding to continue right to the end. I guess this would have resulted into an entanglement theory textbook... not what the author had in mind.
