Book Tips - Quantum Computing
Quantum Computing
Quantum computing is a term that has been almost legendary for many years. Breaking the shackles of binary code, quantum computers are said to be capable of computing feats denied to normal computers. For a long time it was just a theory, an exciting thought experiment - now it seems to become reality. Earlier this year, IBM unveiled the world's first commercial quantum computer, which will be made available to customers via the IBM Cloud. Many were excited, cheering the newly ushered in era and the possibilities it would bring. Others were critical, saying IBM Q System One is no more capable than classical computers. Who is right? The answer is still a long time coming - but so that you can be at the forefront of the next heated discussion about quantum computers, we present five books that deal with fundamental physical and philosophical questions surrounding quantum computing.

Understanding Quantum Computing
After the technological revolution triggered by the invention of the computer, the next one is imminent with the merging of computing and quantum mechanics: quantum computing. Vividly and based on examples, this book introduces the basics of quantum computing. What a quantum computer is and what it can do is explained using algorithms. This fundamentally oriented approach enables readers to classify current and also future developments. To understand how quantum computers compute, the author first explains the simple quantum mechanical principles and presents them as application-oriented as possible. In addition, results of research such as teleportation and quantum cryptography are presented.
A brief history of quantum computing
The NSA is developing one, Google and NASA have bought a first commercial version of it. But what is it actually, a quantum computer? This book explains in an understandable and entertaining way the seemingly magical phenomena of quantum physics and how they can be used for incomprehensibly fast computers.
The second quantum revolution
You want to learn more about today's and future technologies? Then deal with the quantum computer or the quantum internet; technologies whose first prototypes have become possible in recent years and will very soon determine our daily lives. The book creates awareness of the importance of quantum physics today.
Quantum Economy
What comes after digitalization? The rapid development of artificial intelligence, the first quantum computers and the automation of other areas of life and work will have a massive impact on our future and our economic model. Algorithms will become authorities. But technology alone will not be the answer to all our challenges.
Introduction to Quantum Informatics
Starting from the theory of quantum cryptography, the achievable service qualities are presented on the basis of current technical possibilities. In an extensive discussion, the achievable security is elaborated, incorporating aspects of cryptanalysis that have received little attention to date. In the same style, the possibilities of quantum computing are examined.
