Learn Quantum Computing with Python and IBM Quantum Experience: A hands-on introduction to quantum computing and writing your own quantum programs with Python by Robert Loredo

Robert Loredo . Unknown Year . English

A step-by-step guide to learning the implementation and associated methodologies in quantum computing with the help of the IBM Quantum Experience, Qiskit, and Python that will have you up and running and productive in no time Key features Determine the difference between classical computers and quantum computers Understand the quantum computational principles such as superposition and entanglement and how they are leveraged on IBM Quantum Experience systems Run your own quantum experiments and applications by integrating with Qiskit Book Description IBM Quantum Experience is a platform that enables developers to learn the basics of quantum computing by allowing them to run experiments on a quantum computing simulator and a real quantum computer. This book will explain the basic principles of quantum mechanics, the principles involved in quantum computing, and the implementation of quantum algorithms and experiments on IBM's quantum processors. You will start working with simple programs that illustrate quantum computing principles and slowly work your way up to more complex programs and algorithms that leverage quantum computing. As you build on your knowledge, you'll understand the functionality of IBM Quantum Experience and the various resources it offers. Furthermore, you'll not only learn the differences between the various quantum computers but also the various simulators available. Later, you'll explore the basics of quantum computing, quantum volume, and a few basic algorithms, all while optimally using the resources available on IBM Quantum Experience. By the end of this book, you'll learn how to build quantum programs on your own and have gained practical quantum computing skills that you can apply to your business. What you will learn Explore quantum computational principles such as superposition and quantum entanglement Become familiar with the contents and layout of the IBM Quantum Experience Understand quantum gates and how they operate on qubits Discover the quantum information science kit and its elements such as Terra and Aer Get to grips with quantum algorithms such as Bell State, Deutsch-Jozsa, Grover's algorithm, and Shor's algorithm How to create and visualize a quantum circuit Who this book is for This book is for Python developers who are looking to learn quantum computing and put their knowledge to use in practical situations with the help of IBM Quantum Experience. Some background in computer science and high-school-level physics and math is required.

About the Author

Robert Loredo is the IBM Quantum Ambassador Worldwide Team Leader. He is part of the prestigious IBM Quantum team and is one of their most popular speakers and educators. Robert has been at IBM for 18 years in roles of increasing responsibility. He is respected for his continual search for new knowledge, to learn more and to achieve more in every one of his roles. He is also a Qiskit Advocate (achieved through testing and certification), and an IBM Master Inventor with over 200 patents and was recently added to the list of prolific inventors from around the world (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_prolific_inventors). In his career, Robert has presented diverse workshops and lectures, as well as authored articles covering; artificial intelligence, bio-informatics, and quantum computing. He devotes much of his free time to philanthropy - contributing and volunteering to his community. Robert has dedicated 100% of the royalties from his first book, "Learn Quantum Computing with Python and IBM Quantum Experience” to one of his favorite charities: Doctors Without Borders: www.doctorswithoutborders.org These funds will go to help the many doctors, nurses, and other medical professional and volunteers around the world where their main mission is to provide medical aid where it's needed most and do so with their efforts remaining independent, neutral, and impartial. Robert’s other charitable activities include serving on the executive board of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) South Florida chapter for over 10 years mentoring professionals and students. He has also served as a mentor for over 10 years for the American Corporate Partners (ACP) where he works with military men and women transition from military to private sector careers, where many of his proteges have since obtained graduate degrees, created their own startups, or moved into lead corporate roles such as CEO, and CTO. He also shares his time volunteering on medical missions a few times a year working with a medical team that cares for thousands of patients internationally several times per year offering free medical visits and medicine. As an adjunct professor, he has taught cloud computing and software engineering at the Florida International University School of Computer Science and holds a Bachelors and Masters degree in Computer and Electrical Engineering from the University of Miami and is currently pursuing his PhD in Computer Science with a specialization in Quantum Neuroinformatics at the Florida International University School of Computer Science. In 2019 he received the Distinguished Alumni award from the University of Miami College of Engineering for his giveback to the community and profession. In his spare time, he enjoys participating in triathlons (completed his first Ironman in Australia on May of 2014), and as a former musician he enjoys playing the guitar, restoring amplifiers, and antique radios. His favorite activity is traveling and meeting people from all over the world. Robert is the guy you want to sit next to on an airplane, a great conversationalist with lots of diverse knowledge and interests. He is charming, affable, and engaging. Robert's favorite quote is, "A leader is defined not by how many followers they have, but by how many leaders they create."
