Some of you write to me asking how do you start learning quantum computing if you don’t have a physics background? I finally have the holy grail resource for you! We need to train more people to think in the quantum way and understand how a quantum computer works. However, traditionally, you had to go through a few years of math before studying quantum computing.
But I don’t think everyone needs a PhD to be able to contribute to quantum computing. We have cloud computing systems available right now and you can send code to a real quantum computer.
But there haven’t been many resources, until just recently, that allowed someone from a non physics background to dive in depth into quantum computing.
So, I’ve finally found the holy grail of the best quantum computing books for software engineers - Jack Hidary’s book Quantum Computing: An Applied Approach.
I absolutely love this book and in my view, this should be the first book someone with a technical, but non-physics background, should pick up. It's easy to read and covers the basics of everything you need to know to start getting involved in quantum computing- including the mathematical background, quantum mechanics, hardware, and software.
Hope you enjoy!!!
