An Introduction to Quantum Computing for Computer Engineers

This book focuses on topics within quantum computing that will give a student or practitioner of computer engineering a solid but not exhaustive understanding of the ideas that are foundational to how a quantum computer works, and the practical aspects of what goes into building a quantum computer from an engineering perspective. The reader should know enough by the end of the book to begin to work effectively and knowledgeably with quantum computers in a lab or industry setting at any layer in the technology stack.

Provides readers with a working knowledge of quantum mechanics without the need to read comprehensive textbooks

Includes prerequisite knowledge needed to begin working on any part of the quantum computing stack

• Teaches useful skills throughout the book, such as nanofabrication, programming, PCB design and RF circuit design
