Hughes C. Quantum Computing for the Quantum Curious 2022 torrent

Textbook in PDF format

Quantum computing is a growing field at the intersection of physics and computer science. This module introduces three key principles of quantum computing: superposition, quantum measurement, and entanglement. The goal of this course is to bridge the gap between popular science articles and advanced undergraduate texts, making some of the more technical aspects accessible to high school students, early undergraduates, or the scientifically literate general public. Problem sets and simulation-based labs of various levels are included to reinforce the concepts described in the text.
The module starts by covering basic quantum mechanics concepts needed to understand quantum computing. However, it is not designed to be a comprehensive introduction to modern physics. Rather, the course will focus on the topics that students may have heard about but are not typically covered in a typical physics class.
