welcome
Thank you for purchasing the MEAP for
Quantum Computing in Action.
With this book, I want to introduce the potential and relevance of Quantum Computing to
Java Developers. This book is targeting both beginning developer as well as very
experienced Java developer -- and anything in between.
Most developers already heard something about Quantum Computing, but to many it
seems very abstract, futuristic or mysterious. In this book, I try to explain why Quantum
Computing will be very relevant to most Java developers, and why you better start learning
about it today, and not wait for the first powerful quantum computers to arrive.
Quantum Computing is expected to have a big impact in many IT areas, including
encryption, communication, security, scientific research, optimization, databases,... .
In the book, we show how Java developers can use their existing skills (Java
development) and still leverage the benefits of Quantum Computing. You don't need a
degree in physics in order to use Quantum Computing.
We explain the core concepts of Quantum Computing through the eyes of a developer,
and we show a number of Java samples that leverage the benefits of Quantum Computers.
These Java samples run on an open-source Quantum Computer Simulator we refer to, and
with minor modifications they can run on real Quantum hardware.
I realize that the subject of Quantum Computers is very new to Java developers. When
talking about Quantum Computing on conferences, I highly appreciate the feedback from
the audience. The more I hear from developers, the better we can make this book. Therefore,
I recommend you to use the book's forum to ask question or provide comments.
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please share them in Manning’s
liveBook's Discussion Forum
for my book.
