Quantum Computing

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

Sir Winston Churchill, at a 1942 speech at London’s Mansion House

Chapter 11Where to Go from Here

We’ve obsessively focused on building your intuition for applying quantum effects in code and designing practical quantum programs for your applications. Moreover, every time you were introduced to a new quantum effect, I wanted to get you to see how it works in a quantum program—getting dazzled by the strange ways that qubits behave takes a back seat to actually learning how to capitalize on these phenomena. Quantum mechanics forces a wholly different way of approaching problems than those of classical programming. Topping your toolbox ...
