商品描述

Dive in with this hands-on introduction to quantum computing with the Microsoft Quantum Development Kit and Q# for software developers.

You may have heard about quantum computing, but what does it mean to you as a software developer? With many new developments, a resurgence in interest, and investment by some of the largest tech companies in the world to be the first to market with quantum programming (QP) hardware and platforms, it is no longer a tool in the distant future. Developers are at the forefront, now able to create applications that take advantage of QP through simulations. While the skill is of interest, for many developers, quantum computing and its implications still remains a mystery.

In this book, you will get up to speed exploring important quantum concepts and apply them in practice through writing actual quantum algorithms, using the Microsoft Quantum Development Kit. Theoretical knowledge about quantum physics, such as superposition and entanglement, will be used to explain quantum computing topics, including quantum gates, quantum circuits, and quantum algorithms. Finally, take a tour of the new Azure Quantum.

Use Q#, Microsoft's new programming language, to target quantum hardware. You will select your supporting language of choice, either C# or Python, to begin writing your quantum applications. Combined with just enough theoretical preparation, you will learn how to get your computer ready to simulate basic quantum programs using Microsoft Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code and Q#.

What You Will Learn

• Get up to speed on the platform-independent quantum tool set using the Microsoft Quantum Development Kit simulator and Visual Studio Code or Microsoft Visual Studio
• Know the basics of quantum mechanics required to start working on quantum computing
• Understand mathematical concepts such as complex numbers, trigonometry, and linear algebra
• Install the Microsoft Quantum Development Kit on a Windows or Linux PC with Visual Studio Code or Microsoft Visual Studio
• Write quantum algorithms with the Microsoft Quantum Development Kit and Q#, supported by C# or Python
• Discover insights on important existing quantum algorithms such as Deutch, Deutch-Jozsa, and the fun CHSH-game
• Get introduced to quantum as a service using the Microsoft Azure Quantum preview cloud offering

Who This Book Is For
Developers who are interested in quantum computing, specifically those software developers who are planning on using quantum computers in the future. Basic imperative programming knowledge is useful to understand the syntax and structure found in the Q# programming language. Knowledge of Microsoft C# or Python is not required since these languages are only used to support the simulation of Q# on a classical computer.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

透過 Microsoft Quantum Development Kit 和 Q#,這本書為軟體開發人員提供了一個實作導向的量子計算入門。

你可能聽說過量子計算,但對於你作為一名軟體開發人員來說,這意味著什麼呢?隨著許多新發展的出現、興趣的復甦,以及一些全球最大科技公司在量子程式設計(QP)硬體和平台上進行投資以搶佔市場,量子計算不再是遙不可及的工具。開發人員現在站在最前線,能夠透過模擬創建利用 QP 的應用程式。雖然這項技能引人關注,但對於許多開發人員來說,量子計算及其影響仍然是一個謎。

在這本書中,你將快速掌握重要的量子概念,並透過編寫實際的量子演算法來實踐,使用 Microsoft Quantum Development Kit。關於量子物理的理論知識,例如疊加和糾纏,將用來解釋量子計算主題,包括量子閘、量子電路和量子演算法。最後,將帶你參觀新的 Azure Quantum。

使用 Q#,微軟的新程式語言,來針對量子硬體。你將選擇你喜歡的支援語言,無論是 C# 還是 Python,開始編寫你的量子應用程式。結合足夠的理論準備,你將學會如何準備你的電腦,使用 Microsoft Visual Studio 或 Visual Studio Code 和 Q# 來模擬基本的量子程式。

你將學到的內容

• 使用 Microsoft Quantum Development Kit 模擬器和 Visual Studio Code 或 Microsoft Visual Studio,快速掌握平台獨立的量子工具集

• 了解開始從事量子計算所需的量子力學基礎知識

• 理解數學概念,如複數、三角學和線性代數

• 在 Windows 或 Linux PC 上安裝 Microsoft Quantum Development Kit,並使用 Visual Studio Code 或 Microsoft Visual Studio

• 使用 Microsoft Quantum Development Kit 和 Q# 編寫量子演算法,並支援 C# 或 Python

• 探索重要的現有量子演算法,如 Deutch、Deutch-Jozsa 和有趣的 CHSH 遊戲

• 介紹作為服務的量子計算,使用 Microsoft Azure Quantum 預覽雲端服務

本書適合誰

對量子計算感興趣的開發人員,特別是那些計劃在未來使用量子電腦的軟體開發人員。基本的命令式程式設計知識對於理解 Q# 程式語言中的語法和結構是有幫助的。對 Microsoft C# 或 Python 的知識並不是必需的,因為這些語言僅用於支援在傳統電腦上模擬 Q#。
