ISBN: 9798184526126 - the quantum machine: engineering qubits, error correction, and the road to practical quantum computing (6 risultati)

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The quantum revolution is not coming. It is already being built, in dilution refrigerators cooled to a hundredth of a degree above absolute zero, on silicon wafers etched at the nanometer scale, inside ion traps where individual atoms hold the computational future in their spins. The Quantum Machine takes you inside that construction site. This is not a book about the promise of quantum computing. It is a book about how quantum computers actually work, how they fail, and how the world's best engineers are fixing the failures. Written at graduate level without sacrificing readability, The Quantum Machine covers the complete arc of the field: from the mathematics of qubits, superposition, and entanglement through the five leading hardware platforms (superconducting transmons, trapped ions, photonic circuits, silicon spin qubits, and neutral atom arrays), into the deep mechanics of quantum error correction, the surface code, topological computing, and the threshold theorem that makes fault-tolerant computation possible in principle. Every chapter grounds theory in real experimental data, including coherence time measurements from IBM Heron, gate fidelity results from Quantinuum H2, and error suppression benchmarks from Google Willow. You will understand why a 99.9 percent gate fidelity is not good enough, why it matters that trapped-ion systems offer all-to-all connectivity, why the surface code needs a million physical qubits to run Shor's algorithm, and why recent quantum LDPC codes could compress that number by two orders of magnitude. You will understand what magic state distillation actually is, why the Lindblad master equation governs qubit decoherence, and why two-level system defects in aluminum oxide have cost the field fifteen years of T1 improvement. The book is equally rigorous about what quantum computers cannot do. The hype surrounding NISQ-era devices, variational quantum eigensolvers, quantum machine learning, and optimization algorithms receives the honest, data-grounded treatment it has long deserved. For graduate students entering the field, researchers crossing over from adjacent disciplines, and engineers being asked to make real decisions about quantum technology timelines, The Quantum Machine is the text that closes the gap between popular accounts and primary literature. It does not simplify. It explains. What you will gain: a working command of the mathematics, physics, and engineering of every major qubit platform; a thorough understanding of quantum error correction from three-qubit codes through topological qubits; a realistic and defensible view of where quantum advantage genuinely exists and where classical computing still wins; and the technical vocabulary to read current research papers without a translator. The quantum machine is being built. This book tells you exactly how. This item is printed on demand.
