He said, in part, We were able to successfully ship the book to our printers. … Congratulations on achieving this milestone! As I’ve mentioned before, my book was prepared using LaTeX and not Microsoft…
Dancing With Qubits, First Edition: Let me preface my remarks with …
Way back in 1992, Springer-Verlag published my first book Axiom: The Scientific Computation System, co-authored with the late Richard D. Jenks. Since then I’ve thought of writing other books, but work and life in general caused enough inertia that I never got around to it. I first got involved with IBM’s quantum computing effort in…
Math and Analytics at IBM Research: 50+ Years
