Quantum in Pictures: A New Way to Understand the Quantum World - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

“Quantum in Pictures” makes it possible to learn about quantum mechanics and quantum computing in a new, fun way.

Written by world-leading experts, Quantum in Pictures is a simple, friendly, and novel way to explain the magical world of quantum theory. This book will be of interest to both the young (and not-so-young) amateur and the quantum specialists.

Using pictures alone, this book will equip you with the tools you need to understand the quantum world including recent developments in quantum computing and prove things about it, both known and new. Topics that are covered include:

• Quantum Entanglement

• Quantum Teleportation

• Computing with Quantum Circuits

• Quantum Measurement

• Quantum Uncertainty

• ZX Calculus

• Measurement-based quantum computing

• Quantum Key Distribution

• Relativity Theory In Pictures

• Quantum Nonlocality (2022 Nobel Prize)

You’ll learn that the pictures aren’t mere illustrations, but rather a new kind of rigorous mathematics, tailor-made to talk about quantum things. This new maths was developed and refined over several years by many researchers, including the authors, and it is now being adopted by the quantum computing industry.

“Quantum in Pictures” is a book that takes us beyond the “why” questions that mesmerised the giants of quantum physics a century ago, to the “what” questions being tackled by today’s pioneers of quantum information technology. It's the perfect jumping-off point for every reader who feels ready to make the leap many have already made: from the “why” of what quantum tells us about the universe to the “what”.
