商品描述
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. It then goes on to explain how this quantum world opens up a whole new paradigm of computing.
The book bridges the gap between popular science articles and advanced textbooks by making key ideas accessible with just high school physics as a prerequisite. Each unit is broken down into sections labelled by difficulty level, allowing the course to be tailored to the student's experience of math and abstract reasoning. Problem sets and simulation-based labs of various levels reinforce the concepts described in the text and give the reader hands-on experience running quantum programs.
This book can thus be used at the high school level after the AP or IB exams, in an extracurricular club, or as an independent project resource to give students a taste of what quantum computing is really about. At the college level, it can be used as a supplementary text to enhance a variety of courses in science and computing, or as a self-study guide for students who want to get ahead. Additionally, readers in business, finance, or industry will find it a quick and useful primer on the science behind computing's future.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本開放存取的書籍使量子計算變得比以往任何時候都更容易接觸。量子計算是一個快速增長的領域，位於物理學和計算機科學的交匯處，承諾擁有超越「經典」計算的革命性能力。理解這種熱潮背後的科學可能會很困難：其核心是量子力學，其神秘的概念對於初學者來說可能會令人畏懼。
這本經過課堂測試的教科書使用簡單的語言、最少的數學和大量的例子來解釋量子計算機背後的三個關鍵原則：疊加、量子測量和糾纏。接著，它解釋了這個量子世界如何開啟全新的計算範式。
這本書彌合了流行科學文章和高級教科書之間的差距，使關鍵概念在僅需高中物理作為先決條件的情況下變得可接觸。每個單元都分為按難度標記的部分，允許課程根據學生的數學和抽象推理經驗進行調整。各種難度的問題集和基於模擬的實驗室加強了文本中描述的概念，並讓讀者獲得運行量子程序的實踐經驗。
因此，這本書可以在高中階段的 AP 或 IB 考試後使用，作為課外俱樂部的資源，或作為獨立項目的資源，讓學生體驗量子計算的真實內涵。在大學階段，它可以作為補充教材，增強各種科學和計算課程，或作為希望提前學習的學生的自學指南。此外，商業、金融或行業的讀者將會發現這是一本快速且有用的入門書，幫助他們了解計算未來背後的科學。
作者簡介
Ciaran Hughes received his PhD in Theoretical Physics from the University of Cambridge. Afterwards, he moved to the Theoretical Physics Division at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. His research involves understanding how the smallest particles in the universe talk to one another in order to create the world we live in. Particularly, his research includes calculating quantum phenomena associated with the strong force of nature using high performance computing and quantum computing. Utilizing these techniques, his research strives to find new particles and forces of nature which have never been seen before.
Joshua Isaacson obtained his undergraduate degree from Case Western Reserve University and his PhD from Michigan State University in physics. He is currently working as a postdoctoral researcher at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. His research interests are fairly broad, ranging from simulating events at the Large Hadron Collider to topics related to quantum computing. He became involved with quantum computing as a means to improve the algorithms used at the Large Hadron Collider.Anastasia Perry earned her M.S. in Physics from Kiev University in Ukraine, where she did research in mathematical physics. She taught undergraduate physics labs at Rutgers University in New Jersey and Lewis University in Illinois. Anastasia completed her M.A. in Secondary Education, and during an internship at Fermilab she collaborated on developing high school modules for quantum computing. Currently, she teaches physics at Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy. Anastasia is committed to supporting underrepresented students and engaging them in advanced topics in physics. Ranbel Sun graduated from MIT with a B.S. and M.Eng in Electrical Engineering. She went on to teach high school physics and math at independent schools for 7 years, most recently at Phillips Academy in Andover. Her teaching philosophy focused on developing problem-solving skills and empowering students to take ownership over their learning. She introduced quantum computing into the high school classroom in 2019 and continues to pursue interests at the intersection of education and engineering.Jessica Turner received her education in Glasgow and Durham (UK) before accepting a postdoctoral research position at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in 2017. She is currently a faculty member at the University of Durham. Her research interests include theoretical particle physics and cosmology and she is particularly fascinated by neutrinos which are the most elusive known particles.
