This book sets out to demystify quantum computing. Using Python and the new quantum programming language Q#, Dr. Sarah Kaiser and Dr. Chris Granade show how to build a quantum simulator and apply quantum programming techniques to real-world examples including cryptography and chemical analysis. The book shows how to take advantage of Microsoft’s open source tools to fine-tune quantum algorithms. The authors explain complex math and theory through stories, visuals, and games.
