"Recently there has been a tremendous media buzz about the coming quantum computing revolution. Chris Bernhardt has masterfully crafted this short book to teach the basics to anyone interested in this fascinating field. The reader is not expected to know more than high school mathematics, and with that, this extremely accessible book will guide you through the many parts of quantum computing." - Noson S. Yanofsky, Professor, Brooklyn College, Department of Computer and Information Sciences; coauthor of Quantum Computing for Computer Scientists ; and author of The Outer Limits of Reason "Bernhardt has written a clear, no-nonsense introduction to quantum computing and information -- one that takes beginners by the hand and leads them up to a working understanding of quantum teleportation, Bell's inequality, Simon's algorithm, and more. I'll enthusiastically recommend this book to the next beginner who asks me." - Scott Aaronson, David J. Bruton Centennial Professor of Computer Science and Director of the Quantum Information Center at the University of Texas at Austin; author of Quantum Computing Since Democritus "Will the bit ever be replaced by the qubit? Quantum computers now loom on the technical horizon. This essential text opens the door for technical readers to walk through a gallery of quantum effects leading to the basics of quantum computing." - Keewatin A. Dewdney, Professor of Computer Science, University of Western Ontario, Quantum Computing for Everyone is a much-needed dose of reality, and an honest path for the earnest beginner.-- Nature --, Quantum Computing for Everyone is a much-needed dose of reality, and an honest path for the earnest beginner. -- Nature

Synopsis
FOR NON-EXPERTS: Get an accessible introduction to quantum computing as a mathematician explains quantum algorithms, quantum entanglement, and more. Quantum computing is a beautiful fusion of quantum physics and computer science! Quantum computing incorporates some of the most stunning ideas from 20th-century physics into an entirely new way of thinking about computation. Here, Chris Bernhardt offers an introduction to quantum computing that is accessible to anyone comfortable with high school mathematics. A mathematician himself, Bernhardt simplifies the mathematics and provides elementary examples that illustrate both how the math works and what it means. He explains for the non-expert: * Quantum bits, or qubits--the basic unit of quantum computing * Quantum entanglement and what it means when qubits are entangled * Quantum cryptography * Classical computing topics like bits, gates, and logic * Quantum gates * Quantum algorithms and their speed * Quantum computers and how they're built * And more! By the end of the book, readers understand that quantum computing and classical computing are not two distinct disciplines, and that quantum computing is the fundamental form of computing., "Quantum computing is a beautiful fusion of quantum physics with computer science. It incorporates some of the most stunning ideas of physics from the twentieth century into an entirely new way of thinking about computation. Quantum Computing is appearing more and more in the news: China teleported a qubit from earth to a satellite; Shor's algorithm has put our current encryption methods at risk; quantum key distribution will make encryption safe again; Grover's algorithm will speed-up data searches. But what does all this really mean? How does it all work? This book explains quantum computing to readers comfortable with high school mathematics. This book is aimed at the general reader. It only requires high school mathematics, but still manages to thoroughly explain most of the standard topics. These include quantum teleportation, superdense coding, error correction and quantum algorithms. This is the first book aimed at this market. Other books that cover the same material assume a higher level of mathematical sophistication. This book simplifies that mathematics as much as possible. It proceeds gently with many examples"--, FOR NON-EXPERTS: Get an accessible introduction to quantum computing as a mathematician explains quantum algorithms, quantum entanglement, and more.

However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.Catland by Hughes, Kathryn, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US (#356798982438)
