Preface

You may wonder, another book about Quantum Computing? More documentation? We already have:

Well, by telling it from a different perspective it may help people coming from different fields (meaning, non-physicists) grasp the idea behind quantum computing. This is also a work for myself, as it will definitely help me better understand some of the concepts. Just by explaining things I found it is the best way to challenge ones knowledge about a field you are trying to master.

Also, it costs nothing so, no harm done. Code snippets are easier to maintain so hopefully, everything will work with the latest versions. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have learned creating it.

About me

Mi name is Iraitz Montalbán, Computer Scientist by background, I started in the field of Quantum Computing by chance, while doing an internship in 2010 there were some guys doing something called quantum computing, which was a mathematical framework back then. I kept my interest in the field and ended up doing a masters on Quantum Computing Technologies at UPM and working with some startups in the field.
