Quantum computers hold the potential to revolutionize processing speeds compared to existing computing systems. Their ability to tackle a diverse range of applications—from quantum cryptography and machine learning to computational biology and renewable energy—makes them an exciting frontier in both computing and scientific research. Moreover, quantum computing can significantly enhance computer-aided drug design, generative chemistry, and any scientific or enterprise application that demands computational power beyond the capabilities of traditional systems.
The Second Edition of Foundations of Quantum Programming explores how existing programming methodologies and technologies designed for classical computers can be adapted for quantum computing, alongside innovative techniques that capitalize on the distinctive capabilities of quantum mechanics. This newer edition features two new chapters focused on programming models and strategies for parallel and distributed quantum systems. Additionally, it introduces two chapters dedicated to Quantum Machine Learning and its associated programming frameworks—parameterized quantum programming and differential quantum programming. The preliminaries chapter from the First Edition has been revised and expanded into three distinct chapters, incorporating two sections that discuss quantum Turing machines and random-access stored program machines, providing readers with a more comprehensive understanding of quantum computational frameworks. Furthermore, the updated 2nd Edition presents a range of new approaches, including invariants of quantum programs and their corresponding generation algorithms, as well as the abstract interpretation of quantum programs.
– Demystifies the theory of quantum programming using a step-by-step approach
– Presents a coherent and self-contained treatment that will be valuable for academic and industrial researchers and developers
– Includes methodologies, techniques, and tools for the development, analysis, and verification of quantum programs and quantum cryptographic protocols
– Adds new developments such as parallel and distributed quantum programming; and introduces several new program analysis techniques such as invariants generation and abstract interpretation.
– Covers the interdisciplinary nature of quantum programming by providing preliminaries from quantum mechanics, mathematics, and computer science, and pointing out its potential applications to quantum engineering and physics
