- Summary:
- Taking quantum computing out of the realm of theoretical physics, "Quantum Computing Explained" is a self-contained text that teaches the necessary tools and presents the topic in a clear and conversational tone for the non-physicist. Featuring a large number of solved examples plus additional problems to help readers reinforce what they've learned, problems are solved explicitly in the text so the reader can see how Quantum Computing is done with their own eyes, rather than be left to figure it out on their own.
