Learn quantum computing with Python and IBM Quantum experience : a hands-on introduction to quantum computing and writing your own quantum programs with Python by Loredo, Robert
Publication Date: 2020
A step-by-step guide to learning the implementation and associated methodologies in quantum computing with the help of the IBM Quantum Experience, Qiskit, and Python that will have you up and running and productive in no time Key Features Determine the difference between classical computers and quantum computers Understand the quantum computational principles such as superposition and entanglement and how they are leveraged on IBM Quantum Experience systems Run your own quantum experiments and applications by integrating with Qiskit Book Description IBM Quantum Experience is a platform that enables developers to learn the basics of quantum computing by allowing them to run experiments on a quantum computing simulator and a real quantum computer. This book will explain the basic principles of quantum mechanics, the principles involved in quantum computing, and the implementation of quantum algorithms and experiments on IBM's quantum processors. You will start working with simple programs that illustrate quantum computing principles and slowly work your way up to more complex programs and algorithms that leverage quantum computing. As you build on your knowledge, you'll understand the functionality of IBM Quantum Experience and the various resources it offers. Furthermore, you'll not only learn the differences between the various quantum computers but also the various simulators available. Later, you'll explore the basics of quantum computing, quantum volume, and a few basic algorithms, all while optimally using the resources available on IBM Quantum Experience. By the end of this book, you'll learn how to build quantum programs on your own and have gained practical quantum computing skills that you can apply to your business. What you will learn Explore quantum computational principles such as superposition and quantum entanglement Become familiar with the contents and layout of the IBM Quantum Experience Understand quantum gates and how they operate on qubits Discover the quantum information science kit and its elements such as Terra and Aer Get to grips with quantum algorithms such as Bell State, Deutsch-Jozsa, Grover's algorithm, and Shor's algorithm How to create and visualize a quantum circuit Who this book is for This book is for Python developers who are looking to learn quantum computing and put their knowledge to use in practical situations with the help of IBM Quantum Experience

Learn Quantum Computation using Qiskit - Textbook
"This is a free digital textbook that will teach you the concepts of quantum computing while you learn to use the Qiskit SDK.

This textbook is built on a jupyter notebook framework that allows for easy reading, but it also allows readers to edit and run the code right in the textbook. The chapters can also be opened as Jupyter notebooks in the IBM Quantum Experience, no installs required!"
Quantum Computing for the Quantum Curious - Book
"This open access book makes quantum computing more accessible than ever before. A fast-growing field at the intersection of physics and computer science, quantum computing promises to have revolutionary capabilities far surpassing “classical” computation. Getting a grip on the science behind the hype can be tough: at its heart lies quantum mechanics, whose enigmatic concepts can be imposing for the novice. This classroom-tested textbook uses simple language, minimal math, and plenty of examples to explain the three key principles behind quantum computers: superposition, quantum measurement, and entanglement.
