Full title :Programming quantum computers : essential algorithms and code samples / Eric R. Johnston, Nic Harrigan, and Mercedes Gimeno-Segovia.

Summary

Quantum computers are poised to kick-start a new computing revolution, and you can join in right away. If you're in software engineering, computer graphics, data science, or just an intrigued computerphile, this book provides a hands-on programmer's guide to understanding quantum computing technology. Rather than labor through math and theory, you'll work directly with examples that demonstrate this technology's unique capabilities. Quantum computing specialists Eric Johnson, Nic Harrigan, and Mercedes Gimeno-Segovia show you how to build the skills, tools, and intuition required to write quantum programs at the center of applications. You'll understand what quantum computers can do and learn how to identify the types of problems they can solve.
