TY - GEN AU - Clegg Brian TI - Quantum Computing: The Transformative Technology of the Qubit Revolution SN - 9781785787072 U1 - 001.64 PY - 2021/// CY - USA PB - Icon Books KW - Quantum Computing N2 - 'Quantum algorithms' had already been written long before hardware was built. These would enable, for example, a quantum computer to exponentially speed up an information search, or to crack the mathematical trick behind internet security. However, making a quantum computer is incredibly difficult. Despite hundreds of laboratories around the world working on them, we are only just seeing them come close to 'supremacy' where they can outperform a traditional computer.In this approachable introduction, Brian Clegg explains algorithms and their quantum counterparts, explores the physical building blocks and quantum weirdness necessary to make a quantum computer, and uncovers the capabilities of the current generation of machines.
