Synopsis:
The ultimate non-technical guide to the fast-developing world of quantum computing
Computer technology has improved exponentially over the last 50 years. But the headroom for bigger and better electronic solutions is running out. Our best hope is to engage the power of quantum physics.
'Quantum algorithms' had already been written long before hardware was built. These would enable, for example, a quantum computer to exponentially speed up an information search, or to crack the mathematical trick behind internet security. However, making a quantum computer is incredibly difficult. Despite hundreds of laboratories around the world working on them, we are only just seeing them come close to 'supremacy' where they can outperform a traditional computer.
In this approachable introduction, Brian Clegg explains algorithms and their quantum counterparts, explores the physical building blocks and quantum weirdness necessary to make a quantum computer, and uncovers the capabilities of the current generation of machines.
About the Author: Brian Clegg is a popular science writer whose Dice World and A Brief History of Infinity were both longlisted for the Royal Society Prize for Science Books. He has written for publications including Nature, The Times and BBC Focus.

Quantum Computing
Seller: Postscript Books, Newton Abbot, DEVON, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New - Very Good. Replacing a single bit of a traditional computer, which has a binary capacity of one or zero, with the almost infinitely more versatile qubit of quantum computing opens up tremendous potential processing power but there are significant problems in the practical realization of such machines. This introduction explains how the strange properties of the quantum world can be harnessed and examines the latest prototypes at the cutting edge of this technology. Slightly off-mint.
