Quantum Computing Fundamentals

Preface

Writing a book is always a challenging project. But with a topic like quantum computing, it is much more so. If you cover too much, the reader will be overwhelmed and will not gain much from the book. If you cover too little, you will gloss over critical details. With quantum computing, particularly a book written for the novice, it is important to provide enough information without overwhelming. It is my sincere hope that I have accomplished this.

Clearly some readers will have a more robust mathematical background than others. Some of you will probably have some experience in quantum computing; however, for those of you lacking some element in your background, don’t be concerned. The book is designed to give you enough information ...
