Quantum Computing and Quantum Machine Learning for Engineers and Developers

This book guides readers from the foundations of quantum mechanics through advanced quantum algorithms (such as Shor’s and Grover’s) and state-of-the-art machine learning methods. By illustrating how these concepts apply to everyday engineering challenges, ranging from complex optimization and cryptography to high-fidelity simulations, the authors equip readers with the tools they need to develop and deploy quantum-based solutions.  Incorporating practical case studies, industry-standard platforms, and tested pedagogical approaches, this resource speaks to both academic researchers and industry professionals, enabling them to seamlessly integrate quantum technologies into their projects and workflow

Jesse Van Griensven Thé obtained his Ph.D. in Computational Fluid Dynamics at the prestigious University of Waterloo.  He is currently the CEO of EigenQ, a company that develops, and commercializes quantum technologies, including Post-Quantum Cryptography and the new Quantum Internet, including software and hardware solutions.  He teaches artificial intelligence and quantum computing at the doctoral level at the Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering (robotics) at the University of Waterloo.  Prof. Van Griensven received many international awards for his research in various fields and is author and co-author in various patents, including two covering new developments in the quantum internet.
