Summary

Quantum computing is making us change how we think about computers. Quantum bits, a.k.a. qubits, may make it possible to solve problems and do this much faster than previously thought with current computing technology. This resource starts with an overview of why quantum computing is so different from classical computing and describes several industry use cases where it may have a major impact. From there it moves on to a fuller description of classical computing and the mathematical underpinnings necessary to understand such concepts as superposition, entanglement, and interference. Next up is circuits and algorithms, both basic and more sophisticated. It then nicely moves on to provide a survey of the physics and engineering ideas behind how quantum computing hardware is built. Finally, it looks to the future and gives you a guide to understand how further developments will affect you.
