Book Description

QML Unlocked opens the door for anyone looking to explore quantum machine learning in a practical and accessible way. Instead of complex formulas, the book takes you on a guided journey through the core concepts of quantum computing, real-world QPUs, and Python-based quantum programming. You’ll learn how to leverage quantum techniques for machine learning tasks, optimize models, and make sense of quantum-enhanced algorithms.

By the end of this book, you’ll have a solid foundation in QML and the skills to experiment with quantum machine learning on your own.

What You Will Learn

• The fundamentals of quantum computing and why it’s relevant for machine learning.
• An overview of today’s quantum devices and cloud-based quantum computing services.
• How to apply quantum techniques to real-world business problems.
• How to choose the right QPU and framework for your experiments.
• How to write and execute quantum machine learning models in Python.

Who This Book Is For

This book is designed for everyone—whether you're a data scientist, software engineer, ML practitioner, or simply a curious mind eager to explore quantum computing. QML Unlocked is not written for quantum specialists (though some chapters may still be of interest to them), but rather for those who want a hands-on, practical introduction to QML without needing a PhD in physics.

If you’ve ever wanted to explore the intersection of quantum computing and machine learning, this book will be your guide—helping you take your first steps into an exciting and rapidly evolving field.
