Quantum Computing Live Book

Short Description¶

A hands-on, continuously updated live book on quantum computing (theory, code, animations and exercises) covering foundations, algorithms, quantum information, error correction and materials.

Long Description¶

This live book covers quantum computing with a get-your-hands-dirty philosophy. Rather than a static textbook, it is an evolving resource that is updated continuously to keep pace with a fast-moving field.

Alongside the core theory, every topic comes with runnable implementations: Jupyter notebooks, code for the algorithms, animations that make the concepts visual, and exercises so that students learn by doing as well as by reading. The material is organized as a two-semester sequence: the first on foundations and quantum algorithms, the second on quantum information, quantum error correction and quantum materials, supplemented by chapter summaries, cheat sheets and extra notebooks that run on real hardware and simulators, including Qiskit and IBM Quantum, D-Wave annealers, and quantum chemistry mappings such as Jordan-Wigner.

It is a modern, practical approach to learning quantum computing: read the theory, then run it.
