A series of Jupyter notebooks intended to be merged into a Jupyterbook at a later date.This is intended as a basic introduction to quantum computing for a non-specialist (assuming no undergraduate physics experience) audeince. Some preliminary mathematics will be covered in chapter 3 making this an almost completely self-contained guide.
The intended audience should have a basic understanding of trigonometry and linear algebra including vectors and matrices as well as a curious and creative attitude to learning.
Rather than standing on the shoulders of giants this work sits on a pile of textbooks, YouTube channels and online resources. In particular, a reader may benefit from the following materials:
Great introduction materials:
For more coding based understanding of QC:
For those with more experience of physics and maths (undergraduate level)
Some chapters have exercise questions (with solutions being added) to help develop understanding.
Suggestions, corrections or any assistance is welcome. The first chapter is dedicated to thanking everyone for their contributions to this project.
