Praise for this book

"Love the concept. Especially love the fact that the actual quantum computation feels like magic happened--pretty much like it is in reality." -- Helmut G. Katzgraber, Professor of Computational Physics at Texas A&M University
"Ferrie and whurley teach us that it's never too early to get quantum ready." -- Jay M Gambetta, Quantum Computing and Information scientist at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center
