2. Quantum Computation#
How qubits become a computer: gates, circuits and the algorithms built from them.
This part is still being written. It opens with the gate model in brief; the rest of the material already lives elsewhere on the site:
Gate-model quantum computing: notebook 2.1 of the quantum machine learning series.
Adiabatic quantum computing and annealing: notebook 2.2 and the quantum annealing chapter.
Variational circuits: notebook 2.3.
Quantum phase estimation and matrix inversion: notebooks 4.1 and 4.2.
How a quantum computer is programmed and compiled: the quantum-computer stack in The Hardware of Quantum Computers.
