About this audiobook
FOR NON-EXPERTS: Get an accessible introduction to quantum computing as a mathematician explains quantum algorithms, quantum entanglement, and more.Quantum computing is a beautiful fusion of quantum physics and computer science!
Quantum computing incorporates some of the most stunning ideas from 20th-century physics into an entirely new way of thinking about computation. Here,Chris Bernhardt offers an introduction to quantum computing that is accessible to anyone comfortable with high school mathematics. A mathematician himself, Bernhardt simplifies the mathematics and provides elementary examples that illustrate both how the math works and what it means. He explains for the non-expert:

A mathematician himself, Bernhardt simplifies the mathematics and provides elementary examples that illustrate both how the math works and what it means. He explains for the non-expert:
- Quantum bits, or qubits—thebasic unit of quantum computing
- Quantum entanglement and what it means when qubits are entangled
- Quantum cryptography
- Classical computing topics like bits, gates, and logic
- Quantum gates
- Quantum algorithms and their speed
- Quantum computers and how they’re built
- And more!
