This book teaches practical lessons on how quantum computing really works while exploring the many useful things quantum algorithms can do. Andrew Glassner uses high school-level math to explain the unusual behaviours of quantum computers, then expands to the formulas and techniques used in those computers' unique programs. By the end of the book, readers will be ready to create and run their own quantum algorithms to overcome a variety of practical challenges using quantum computers and simulators freely available online.
