Foundations of Quantum Programming

Quantum computers promise dramatic advantages in processing speed over currently available computer systems. Governments and industries around the globe are now investing vast amounts of money with the expectation of building practical quantum computers. "Foundations of Quantum Programming" discusses how programming methodologies and technologies developed for current computers can be extended for quantum computers and new programming methodologies and technologies that can effectively exploit the unique power of quantum computing. Drawing upon years of experience and research in quantum computing research and using numerous examples and illustrations, Mingsheng Ying has created a very useful reference on quantum programming languages and important tools and techniques required for quantum programming, making the book a valuable resource for academics, researchers and developers. Systematically exposes and demystifies the theory of quantum programming using a step-by-step approach. Covers the interdisciplinary nature of quantum programming by providing examples from many different fields including, engineering, computer science, medicine, and life sciencesIncludes techniques and tools to solve complex control flow patterns and synchronize computationsPresents a coherent and self-contained treatment that will be valuable for academics and industrial researchers and developers"
