Description
About the Book
Quantum computing is on the horizon, ready to impact everything from scientific research to encryption and security. But you don't need a physics degree to get started in quantum computing. Quantum Computing for Developers shows you how to leverage your existing Java skills into writing your first quantum software so you're ready for the revolution.
Rather than a hardware manual or academic theory guide, this book is focused on practical implementations of quantum computing algorithms. Using Strange, a Java-based quantum computer simulator, you'll go hands-on with quantum computing's core components including qubits and quantum gates as you write your very first quantum code.
Key Features
- An introduction to the core concepts of quantum computing
- Qubits and quantum gates
- Superposition, entanglement, and hybrid computing
- Quantum algorithms including Shor's, Deutsch-jozsa, and Grover's search
For Java developers at all levels who want an early start in quantum computing. No advanced math knowledge required.
About the technology
Whilst quantum hardware is still on the edge of development, the underlying principles for writing quantum software are well-established. Right now developers can utilize quantum simulators, like Java-based Strange, to try quantum experiments on any platform that runs the JVM.

Book Synopsis
Quantum computing is on the horizon and you can get started today! This practical, clear-spoken guide shows you don't need a physics degree to write your first quantum software. In Quantum Computing in Action you will learn: An introduction to the core concepts of quantum computingQubits and quantum gates
Superposition, entanglement, and hybrid computing
Quantum algorithms including Shor's, Deutsch-jozsa, and Grover's search Quantum Computing in Action shows you how to leverage your existing Java skills into writing your first quantum software, so you're ready for the quantum revolution. This book is focused on practical implementations of quantum computing algorithms--there's no deep math or confusing theory. Using Strange, a Java-based quantum computer simulator, you'll go hands-on with quantum computing's core components including qubits and quantum gates. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. About the technology
Quantum computing promises unimaginably fast performance for tasks like encryption, scientific modeling, manufacturing logistics, financial modeling, and AI. Developers can explore quantum computing now using free simulators, and increasingly powerful true quantum systems are gradually becoming available for production use. This book gives you a head start on quantum computing by introducing core concepts, key algorithms, and the most beneficial use cases. About the book
Quantum Computing in Action is a gentle introduction to the ideas and applications of quantum computing. After briefly reviewing the science that makes quantum tick, it guides you through practical implementations of quantum computing algorithms. You'll write your first quantum code and explore qubits and quantum gates with the Java-based Strange quantum simulator. You'll enjoy the interesting examples and insightful explanations as you create quantum algorithms using standard Java and your favorite IDE and build tools.
