About this Item

Paperback. Mr Clarke's Adventures in Quantum ComputingA curious tale of quantum logic, feline ambiguity and the peculiar perils of being observant.When Mr Clarke, a mild-mannered academic with a fondness for lukewarm sandwiches and quiet corners, accidentally wanders into a physics seminar, he expects nothing more than a free biscuit. What he gets instead is an unexpected journey through the strange and counterintuitive world of quantum computing.Guided by sarcastic cats, disapproving physicists, and the occasional piece of sentient stationery, Mr Clarke tumbles from lecture hall to conceptual garden, from quantum bureaucracy to metaphysical train ride. Along the way, he grapples with superposition, entanglement, Grover's algorithm, and the fundamental awkwardness of being observed.Inspired by Mr Tompkins and gently infused with the spirit of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, this is a playful and thoughtful exploration of quantum ideas, told through dry humour, odd metaphors and the slightly bewildered eyes of a man who only wanted a quiet cup of tea.Perfect for curious readers, reluctant scientists, and anyone who suspects the universe may be more polite than it lets on.

Synopsis

Mr Clarke’s Adventures in Quantum Computing

A curious tale of quantum logic, feline ambiguity and the peculiar perils of being observant.

When Mr Clarke, a mild-mannered academic with a fondness for lukewarm sandwiches and quiet corners, accidentally wanders into a physics seminar, he expects nothing more than a free biscuit. What he gets instead is an unexpected journey through the strange and counterintuitive world of quantum computing.

Guided by sarcastic cats, disapproving physicists, and the occasional piece of sentient stationery, Mr Clarke tumbles from lecture hall to conceptual garden, from quantum bureaucracy to metaphysical train ride. Along the way, he grapples with superposition, entanglement, Grover’s algorithm, and the fundamental awkwardness of being observed.

Inspired by Mr Tompkins and gently infused with the spirit of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, this is a playful and thoughtful exploration of quantum ideas, told through dry humour, odd metaphors and the slightly bewildered eyes of a man who only wanted a quiet cup of tea.

Perfect for curious readers, reluctant scientists, and anyone who suspects the universe may be more polite than it lets on.
