Quantum Computing for Everyone

Chris Bernhardt offers an accessible introduction to quantum computing for readers with high school-level mathematics knowledge. As a mathematician, he simplifies the subject and uses elementary examples to explain both the mathematics and its meaning. The book covers quantum bits (qubits), the basic unit of quantum computing; quantum entanglement and entangled qubits; quantum cryptography; classical computing fundamentals including bits, gates, and logic; quantum gates; quantum algorithms and their speed; and how quantum computers are built. Bernhardt also explains the relationship between quantum and classical computing, demonstrating that quantum computing represents the fundamental form of computation rather than a separate discipline.
