Learn Quantum Computing by Building It.
The Art of Quantum Computing: Fundamentals, Algorithms and Applications using Qiskit bridges the gap between quantum theory and practical programming. From qubits and quantum circuits to Shor's algorithm, Grover's search and quantum error correction, the book explains concepts through clear illustrations, worked examples, executable Qiskit code, and meaningful interpretations of results. Discover not only how quantum algorithms work, but also why they work.
Designed for computer science undergraduates, software engineers, researchers and self-learners, this textbook offers a structured path from mathematical foundations to quantum software engineering. No prior knowledge of quantum physics is required.
Foreword by Professor Kalobaran Maiti, Director of the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS), Kolkata, and Senior Professor at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai; recipient of the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize (2010) and Bernard Coqblin Prize (2025).
