Programming Quantum Computers

Essential Algorithms and Code Samples

By: Eric R. Johnston,Nic Harrigan,Mercedes Gimeno-Segovia

Quantum computers are poised to kick-start a new computing revolution—and you can join in right away. If you’re in software engineering, computer graphics, data science, or just an intrigued computerphile, this book provides a hands-on programmer’s guide to understanding quantum computing. Rather than labor through math and theory, you’ll work directly with examples that demonstrate this technology’s unique capabilities. Quantum computing specialists Eric Johnston, Nic Harrigan, and Mercedes Gimeno-Segovia show you how to build the skills, tools, and intuition required to write quantum programs at the center of applications. You’ll understand what quantum computers can do and learn how to identify the types of problems they can solve. This book includes three multichapter sections: Programming for a QPU—Explore core concepts for programming quantum processing units, including how to describe and manipulate qubits and how to perform quantum teleportation. QPU Primitives—Learn algorithmic primitives and techniques, including amplitude amplification, the Quantum Fourier Transform, and phase estimation. QPU Applications—Investigate how QPU primitives are used to build existing applications, including quantum search techniques and Shor’s factoring algorithm.

The Night in Question

A Novel

By: Nic Joseph

[A] unique and totally compelling mystery chock-full of desperation, greed, scandal and murder. A smart and compulsive read with a thrilling ending to boot."—Mary Kubica, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Good Girl In this gripping suspense novel, a brush with fame leads to far more than a celebrity selfie. Instead an average woman finds herself plunging down a dark road to blackmail—and maybe murder. When Paula picks up her last rideshare passenger of the night, all she sees is a few more dollars to put toward her husband's medical bills. But then she recognizes the quiet stranger in her back seat as a world-famous musician and realizes the woman waiting at his destination is not his celebrity wife. So, Paula does what any down-on-her-luck woman would do. She asks for money in exchange for silence. But a few days later, a woman is murdered, and Paula's knowledge of the celebrity affair could prove instrumental to catching a killer. And the more she learns about the suspects, the more dangerous her silence becomes. A sinuous thriller layered with privilege, intrigue, and suspense, The Night in Question is the perfect read for anyone who enjoyed Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter or The Passenger by Lisa Lutz.
