Section 2: Basics of Quantum Computing

In this section, you will learn the basics needed to understand quantum computing, with particular focus on the mathematics and principles of quantum computing that most quantum algorithms leverage to potentially solve many intractable problems. You will also learn about the basic components, such as quantum bits, quantum gates, and quantum circuits, that we use to develop quantum algorithms.

This section comprises the following chapters:

• Chapter 4, Understanding Basic Quantum Computing Principles
• Chapter 5, Understanding the Quantum Bit (Qubit)
• Chapter 6, Understanding Quantum Logic Gates
