Quantum computing in my book Dancing with Python
My new book, Dancing with Python: Learn Python software development from scratch and get started with quantum computing, is now available from Amazon and other sources, and I recently posted the full table of contents. Though it is an introduction to Python, albeit with discussions of several advanced modules, it provides a unified approach with…
Availability of my book Dancing with Python and its table of contents
My new book Dancing with Python: Learn Python software development from scratch and get started with quantum computing is now available for purchase from Amazon and Packt Publishing. Develop skills in Python by implementing exciting algorithms, including mathematical functions, classical searching, data analysis, plotting data, machine learning techniques, and quantum circuits. Key Features Learn Python…
Poll on the subtitle of my next book, Dancing with Python
Packt will be publishing my next book, Dancing with Python, sometime around early September. From the draft preface: Once you have the philosophy, syntax, structure, and idioms of the classical programming language understood, you then learn quantum computing on top of that. For example, you could use the Qiskit open-source quantum computing software development kit…
IBM Quantum Composer and Lab – New tools to use now
The IBM Quantum Experience is now two tools: the IBM Quantum Composer and the IBM Quantum Lab. In the first, you can create circuits by drag and drop, run them on a range of hardware and simulators backends, and visualize the results in several ways. The IBM Quantum Lab is Jupyter-based and gives you the…
Call for papers: Education, Research, and Application of Quantum Computing – HICSS 2022
My IBM Quantum colleague Dr. Andrew Wack and I are hosting a minitrack at the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) 2022. The description of the minitrack is: There is no question that quantum computing will be a technology that will spur breakthroughs in natural science, AI, and computational algorithms such as those used…
Introduction to Quantum Computing and Quantum Hardware
This online course is a great way to go deeply into what makes quantum computing work. Join thousands of your global colleagues and get hands-on knowledge about IBM Quantum and Qiskit. Introduction to Quantum Computing and Quantum Hardware
Some practical things you can do to learn about quantum computing
People often ask me “Where should I get started in order to learn about quantum computing?”. Here are several steps you can take. I work for IBM, so things I link to will often be to the IBM Quantum program. Also, I acknowledge that several of the links and videos toward the beginning involve me,…
My YouTube quantum computing playlist
I have a running YouTube playlist about quantum computing where I capture videos mostly about quantum computing in general, IBM Quantum, the Qiskit open source quantum computing development environment, and my book Dancing with Qubits.
My Visual Studio Code extensions for LaTeX and Python
I’m in the final stages of writing a book about quantum computing using LaTeX and I also do a lot of Python programming when I get a chance. A couple of years ago, I decided to try using the Visual Studio Code editor and I just love it. I’ve used dozens of programming editors in…
My #BCTECHSummit 2019 talk
I spoke this morning about quantum computing at #BCTECHSummit in Vancouver, British Columbia. Here are some of the points I emphasized: The mainstream efforts including IBM Q are universal quantum computing systems with the eventual goal of full fault tolerance. However, we believe “Quantum Advantage,” where we show significant improvement over classical methods and machines,…
