商品描述

This introductory book on quantum computing includes an emphasis on the development of algorithms. Appropriate for both university students as well as software developers interested in programming a quantum computer, this practical approach to modern quantum computing takes the reader through the required background and up to the latest developments.

Beginning with introductory chapters on the required math and quantum mechanics, Fundamentals of Quantum Computing proceeds to describe four leading qubit modalities and explains the core principles of quantum computing in detail. Providing a step-by-step derivation of math and source code, some of the well-known quantum algorithms are explained in simple ways so the reader can try them either on IBM Q or Microsoft QDK. The book also includes a chapter on adiabatic quantum computing and modern concepts such as topological quantum computing and surface codes.

Features:

o Foundational chapters that build the necessary background on math and quantum mechanics.

o Examples and illustrations throughout provide a practical approach to quantum programming with end-of-chapter exercises.

o Detailed treatment on four leading qubit modalities -- trapped-ion, superconducting transmons, topological qubits, and quantum dots -- teaches how qubits work so that readers can understand how quantum computers work under the hood and devise efficient algorithms and error correction codes. Also introduces protected qubits - 0-π qubits, fluxon parity protected qubits, and charge-parity protected qubits.

 

o Principles of quantum computing such as quantum entanglement, no-cloning theorem, quantum teleportation, quantum interference, superdense coding, quantum parallelism, and adiabatic quantum computing.

Principles of quantum computing, such as quantum superposition principle, quantum entanglement, quantum teleportation, no-cloning theorem, quantum parallelism, and quantum interference are explained in detail.

A dedicated chapter on quantum algorithm explores both oracle-based, and Quantum Fourier Transform-based algorithms in detail with step-by-step math and working code that runs on IBM QisKit and Microsoft QDK. Topics on EPR Paradox, Quantum Key Distribution protocols, Density Matrix formalism, and Stabilizer formalism are intriguing. While focusing on the universal gate model of quantum computing, this book also introduces adiabatic quantum computing and quantum annealing.

 

This book includes a section on fault-tolerant quantum computing to make the discussions complete. The topics on Quantum Error Correction, Surface codes such as Toric code and Planar code, and protected qubits help explain how fault tolerance can be built at the system level.

這本介紹量子計算的入門書籍著重於算法的發展。適合大學生和對編程量子計算機感興趣的軟體開發人員,這本實用的現代量子計算方法將讀者引導通過所需的背景知識,並介紹最新的發展。

從對所需數學和量子力學的介紹開始,《量子計算基礎》進一步描述了四種主要的量子位元模式,並詳細解釋了量子計算的核心原理。書中提供了數學和源代碼的逐步推導,並以簡單的方式解釋了一些著名的量子算法,以便讀者可以在IBM Q或Microsoft QDK上嘗試它們。該書還包括一章關於繞射量子計算和現代概念(如拓撲量子計算和表面碼)的內容。

特點:

- 建立必要的數學和量子力學背景的基礎章節。
- 整本書都提供了實用的量子編程方法,並附有章節結尾的練習題。
- 詳細介紹了四種主要的量子位元模式(困住離子、超導轉子、拓撲位元和量子點),以教授讀者如何運作量子位元,以便他們能夠理解量子計算機的內部運作方式,並設計高效的算法和錯誤修正碼。還介紹了受保護的位元-0-π位元、流子奇偶保護位元和電荷奇偶保護位元。
- 詳細解釋了量子計算的原理,如量子纏結、無法克隆定理、量子傳輸、量子干涉、超密編碼、量子平行性和繞射量子計算。
- 專門介紹了量子算法的一章,詳細探討了基於神諭和量子傅立葉變換的算法,並提供了逐步的數學和可運行於IBM QisKit和Microsoft QDK上的工作代碼。關於EPR悖論、量子金鑰分發協議、密度矩陣形式主義和穩定器形式主義的主題令人感興趣。除了介紹量子計算的通用閘模型,本書還介紹了繞射量子計算和量子退火。
- 本書還包括一節關於容錯量子計算的內容,以使討論更完整。關於量子錯誤修正、表面碼(如托里克碼和平面碼)和受保護位元的主題有助於解釋如何在系統層面上建立容錯能力。

作者簡介

Venkateswaran Kasirajan (Venkat) is an Engineering Director at Trimble, Inc., overseeing a high-profile engineering team. By being a part of two startups, Venkat had the opportunity to work on several core technologies and booted the career of hundreds of engineers. He was also involved in several patents.
Before studying computer science and taking up a software engineering career, Venkat studied physics; and currently continues his interest in condensed matter physics. He also researches quantum algorithms and topology, and serves as an internal champion for quantum computing at Trimble Inc. When not working, Venkat is either listening to country music or teaching his daughter while living with his family in Colorado, USA.
