Quantum Computing Primer
What you will learn By following through the material in this primer, you will learn: How quantum physics gives us a new way to computeThe similarities and differences between quantum computing and classical computingHow the fundamental units of quantum computing (qubits) are manipulated to solve hard problemsWhy Quantum Computing is well suited to AI and machine learning applications, and how quantum computers may be used as 'AI co-processors' SECTION 1 1.1 - Conventional computing To understand quantum computing, it is useful to first think about conventional computing. We take modern digital computers and their ability to perform a multitude of different applications for granted. Our desktop PCs, laptops and smart phones can run spreadsheets, stream live video, allow us to chat with people on the other side of the world,…
