This introductory book on quantum computing includes an emphasis on
the development of algorithms. Appropriate for both university
students as well as software developers interested in programming a
quantum computer, this practical approach to modern quantum
computing takes the reader through the required background and up
to the latest developments. Beginning with introductory chapters on
the required math and quantum mechanics, Fundamentals of Quantum
Computing proceeds to describe four leading qubit modalities and
explains the core principles of quantum computing in detail.
Providing a step-by-step derivation of math and source code, some
of the well-known quantum algorithms are explained in simple ways
so the reader can try them either on IBM Q or Microsoft QDK. The
book also includes a chapter on adiabatic quantum computing and
modern concepts such as topological quantum computing and surface
codes. Features: o Foundational chapters that build the necessary
background on math and quantum mechanics. o Examples and
illustrations throughout provide a practical approach to quantum
programming with end-of-chapter exercises. o Detailed treatment on
four leading qubit modalities -- trapped-ion, superconducting
transmons, topological qubits, and quantum dots -- teaches how
qubits work so that readers can understand how quantum computers
work under the hood and devise efficient algorithms and error
correction codes. Also introduces protected qubits - 0- qubits,
fluxon parity protected qubits, and charge-parity protected qubits.
o Principles of quantum computing, such as quantum superposition
principle, quantum entanglement, quantum teleportation, no-cloning
theorem, quantum parallelism, and quantum interference are
explained in detail. A dedicated chapter on quantum algorithm
explores both oracle-based, and Quantum Fourier Transform-based
algorithms in detail with step-by-step math and working code that
runs on IBM QisKit and Microsoft QDK. Topics on EPR Paradox,
Quantum Key Distribution protocols, Density Matrix formalism, and
Stabilizer formalism are intriguing. While focusing on the
universal gate model of quantum computing, this book also
introduces adiabatic quantum computing and quantum annealing. This
book includes a section on fault-tolerant quantum computing to make
the discussions complete. The topics on Quantum Error Correction,
Surface codes such as Toric code and Planar code, and protected
qubits help explain how fault tolerance can be built at the system
level.
