Preface
See that the imagination of nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man. — Richard Feynman
Many people believe that quantum computing is very difficult to learn, assuming that it requires knowledge of arcane and obscure branches of mathematics, and that it can only be mastered with a strong background in physics. We couldn’t disagree more. In fact, the set of prerequisites that you need for a journey into the depths of quantum computing is surprisingly small: just some basic linear algebra, a few notions from probability, and some familiarity with computer programming. All of these are acquired by students of mathematics, physics, computer science, and engineering in their first year of college.
For this reason, a few years ...
