An Introduction to Quantum Computing with Qiskit

Quantum computing is an emerging technology with the power to bring new breakthroughs in thefields of science, and can complement and make existing technologies such as machine learningmore powerful. Today, there are certain challenges that classical computing is not able to solvesuch as the factoring integers problem which is considered an NP problem, but can easily becracked using Shor’s algorithm. In this textbook, we will explore how quantum computers usethe principles of superposition and entanglement as their foundations and harness the powerof Bloch Spheres to represent states of a qubit. An introduction to quantum computing with Qiskitbegins with developing the linear algebra and quantum mechanics that are key to understandingquantum computing. Then the basics of coding quantum circuits and quantum logic gates willbe introduced, and several exciting algorithms such as the Deutsch algorithm or quantum cryptography algorithm will be implemented onQiskit(Quantum Information Science Kit). — ISBN13: 9798587600744
