Learn Quantum Computing with Python and Q# introduces quantum computing from a practical perspective.

Summary

Learn Quantum Computing with Python and Q# demystifies quantum computing. Using Python and the new quantum programming language Q#, you’ll build your own quantum simulator and apply quantum programming techniques to real-world examples including cryptography and chemical analysis.

Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.

About the technology

Quantum computers present a radical leap in speed and computing power. Improved scientific simulations and new frontiers in cryptography that are impossible with classical computing may soon be in reach. Microsoft’s Quantum Development Kit and the Q# language give you the tools to experiment with quantum computing without knowing advanced math or theoretical physics.

About the book

Learn Quantum Computing with Python and Q# introduces quantum computing from a practical perspective. Use Python to build your own quantum simulator and take advantage of Microsoft’s open source tools to fine-tune quantum algorithms. The authors explain complex math and theory through stories, visuals, and games. You’ll learn to apply quantum to real-world applications, such as sending secret messages and solving chemistry problems.

About the Author

Dr. Sarah Kaiser completed her PhD in physics (quantum information) at the University of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing. She has spent much of her career developing new quantum hardware in the lab, from satellites to hacking quantum cryptography hardware. Communicating what is so exciting about quantum is her passion, and she loves building new demos and tools to help enable the quantum community to grow. When not at the keyboard, she loves kayaking and writing books about engineering for all ages.

Dr. Chris Granade completed their PhD in physics (quantum information) at the University of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing, and now works in the Quantum Architectures and Computation (QuArC) group at Microsoft. They work in developing the standard libraries for Q# and is an expert in the statistical characterization of quantum devices from classical data. Previously, Chris helped Scott Aaronson prepare lectures into his recent book, Quantum Computing Since Democritus.
