With the discovery of quantum mechanics came a radically different understanding of how information could be encoded and processed. Quantum computing emerges from this shift not as an incremental improvement, but as a reimagining of computation itself, where principles such as superposition and entanglement become the building blocks of algorithms and machines.

This textbook guides readers from the foundations of quantum theory to the architectures and algorithms that define quantum computation today. Bringing together essential concepts from computation, quantum physics, and mathematics, along with hands-on programming using Qiskit, it provides a coherent framework for understanding both the physical principles underlying quantum systems and the computational advantages arising from their unique properties

  • Provides a structured, step-by-step progression from quantum fundamentals to algorithms
  • Combines intuitive explanations, mathematical foundations and hands-on Qiskit programming
  • Presents an engaging pedagogy through chapter-wise Quantum Insights, Points to Note, Test Your Understanding, and Solved Examples to reinforce concepts and support self-assessment.
  • Extends learning beyond the chapters with a Glossary, answers to selected problems, projects and applications, and perspectives on the future of quantum computing
