Quantum Computing

If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don’t understand quantum mechanics.

Richard P. Feynman, jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 1965 for “fundamental work in quantum electrodynamics, with deep-ploughing consequences for the physics of elementary particles”

Chapter 1Hello Quantum

Quantum computers inhabit the microscopic world of neutrinos and mesons and muons and electrons buzzing about protons and neutrons—a smorsgasbord of subatomic particles bringing with them a cornucopia of strange concepts. Literally from the tiniest aspects of computing to the way we design algorithms, quantum computing introduces a new paradigm for programming computers for mainstream applications that demand heavy number crunching, such as: ...
