- Encourages students to embrace uncertainty over the daily classical experience, when encountering quantum phenomena;
- Uses narrative to start each section with analogies that help students to grasp the critical concept quickly;
- Uses numerical substitutions, accompanied by Python programming and IBM-Q quantum computer programming, as examplesin teaching all critical concepts.

Person
Hiu Yung Wong is an Assistant Professor and Silicon Valley AMDT Endowed Chair in Electrical Engineering, San Jose State University. He received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of California, Berkeley in 2006. From 2006 to 2009, he worked as a Technology Integration Engineer in Spansion. From 2009 to 2018, he was a TCAD Senior Staff Application Engineer in Synopsys, during which he received Synopsys Excellence Award in 2010. In 2021, he received the NSF CAREER award and the Newnan Brothers Award for Faculty Excellence.
His research interests include the applications of machine learning in simulation and manufacturing, cryogenic electronics, quantum computing, reliability simulations, wide bandgap devices (such as GaN, SiC, Ga2O3, and diamond) simulations, novel semiconductor devices design, and Design Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO). His work has produced 80 papers and 10 issued patents.Dr. Wong is a co-PIof an NSF NRT grant for quantum computing education and research, including the creation of a Quantum Technology Master Program at San Jose State University.

System requirements
File format: PDF
Copy protection: Watermark-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
System requirements:
- Computer (Windows; MacOS X; Linux): Use the free software Adobe Reader, Adobe Digital Editions, or any other PDF viewer of your choice (see eBook Help).
- Tablet/Smartphone (Android; iOS): Install the free app Adobe Digital Editions or another reading app for eBooks, e.g., PocketBook (see eBook Help).
- E-reader: Bookeen, Kobo, Pocketbook, Sony, Tolino and many more (only limited: Kindle).
The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
