Quantum Computing - An Easy Digest is a concise and accessible guide designed for readers with little to no background in quantum computing. Using engaging stories and analogies-such as Alice and a spinning coin-the book simplifies complex topics like qubits, superposition, entanglement, and the uncertainty principle. It explains how quantum bits differ from classical bits and how quantum computers can solve certain problems faster. This book explores different physical implementations of qubits, including superconductors, trapped ions, and photons. It introduces essential quantum gates, circuits, and well-known algorithms like Grover's search and Shor's factoring. Readers are also introduced to error correction techniques and the challenges of building scalable, fault-tolerant quantum systems.Practical chapters help readers write basic quantum programs using tools like IBM's Qiskit and Google's Cirq. The final chapters highlight real-world applications, career opportunities, and the ethical impact of quantum technologies. Supplementary materials support further learning, making it ideal for beginners.
