Quantum Computing for Programmers: An Accessible Introduction to Writing Quantum Algorithms with Python and Qiskit

Quantum Computing for Programmers is your hands-on gateway into the revolutionary world of quantum algorithms. Whether you're a Python developer, software engineer, or computer science student, this beginner-friendly guide gives you the tools to write and run real quantum code using Qiskit, IBM’s powerful open-source quantum computing framework.

Through clear explanations, practical code examples, and step-by-step projects, you'll learn:

• How quantum computing differs from classical computing—and why it matters

• Core quantum concepts like qubits, superposition, entanglement, and interference

• How to build quantum circuits and simulate them using Python

• Real-world quantum algorithms including Deutsch–Jozsa, Grover’s, and Quantum Fourier Transform

• How to run your programs on actual quantum hardware using IBM Quantum

You don’t need a background in quantum mechanics—just basic programming knowledge and a desire to explore the cutting edge.

Whether you're curious about quantum’s potential, exploring a new career path, or building next-gen applications, this book will empower you to start coding in a whole new paradigm.
