Quantum Computing

I’ve created a nice quantum computing cheat sheet. It’s not just a patchwork of stuff I’ve googled. It’s a synthesis of everything I’ve understood in the last few month.

Any time you use a device to communicate information—an email, a text message, any data transfer—the information in that transmission crosses the open internet, where it could be intercepted. Such communications are also reliant on internet connectivity, often including wireless signal on either or both ends of a transmission.

I’m currently playing with qiskit, the IBM Python library for quantum computing. I don’t know if it is good or bad; I just took the first one I found.

I finally understood the Deutsch Algorithm.

I'm continuing digging into quantum computing with some Quantum gates acting on a single QBit. Next one will be on multiple Qbit gates.

Just started my journey into quantum computing. I hope this would help beginners to understand what the hell is this thing 😊

Abstract

This is an ebook about quantum computing made for a general audience. The ebook was made freely available via arXiv by the author Chris Ferrie, who is known for writing science books for children such as the popular Quantum Physics for Babies.

IBM has an API that allows users to use some of their quantum computers free of charge (the "Open Plan"). This plan gives one access to small quantum computers with up to 7 physical qubits.
