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.

Chris is a magician
This is by far the best work I have read on quantum computing. The author took a lot of effort to make the subject easier to comprehend. I am a fan of Prof Bernhardt now.

Best for a start
This is the best book to start quantum computing. I would suggest going with Quantum Mechanics by Susskind first, especially the initial chapters. He has a nice video course as well.

This is not an original book. cover and contents are different.

Extremely well written and accessible - but still don't underestimate the maths :)
Really fascinating book, great attempt to make an exotic field accessible to a broad audience and a great introduction to and explanation of both quantum physics and quantum computing. The maths are however still very present (as they are essential to the explanation itself) and - although well explained - not to be underestimated. Having studied quite some maths and had an intro course in quantum physics I can follow everything rather well, but cannot guarantee it would be the same for everyone.

Me ha servido para entender la base y los algoritmos
Es un libro relativamente breve que hace lo posible para simplificar las matemáticas de algo no trivial como la mecánica cuántica. Enseña algunos algoritmos de ejemplo para que se entienda el potencial. El libro ha escogido ser breve, conciso y atemporal centrándose en : - Principios básicos de computaciĂłn cuántica - Algortimos de ejemplo - La mĂnima matemática y fĂsica necesaria Lo que no es: - Un libro de mecánica cuántica - Un libro sobre el estado del hardware. Eso es algo que posiblemente cambie en cada momento - Un manual de fĂsica - Un libro de referencia con toda la matemática y todos los posibles algoritmos con el estado del arte Debo decir que yo parto de una formaciĂłn de ingenierĂa que ya habĂa dado mecánica cuántica en la carrera hace más de una dĂ©cada.

Very good!
I am satisfied with the purchase and highly recommend it! An important note is that knowledge of mathematics (linear functions) is required to understand it. The product itself is excellent.

A very good introduction to a very difficult topic.
You get more than just a superficial overview. The author "patiently" introduces you to basic Linear Algebra early on, and uses this throughout the book to give you a good appreciation to the underlying concepts. He covers and explains many concepts extremely well and with enough mathematical meat in it. He does a very good job in repeating and spoon feeding you with the math to help clarify these difficult concepts. However, towards the end of the book there was less spoon feeding and things do get a little hairy with quantum algorithms... If anything negative, there are a few typo errors but no big deal. I would have liked the mathematical spoon feeding to continue right to the end. I guess this would have resulted into an entanglement theory textbook... not what the author had in mind.
