Recommended Reading

 

Excellent high-level overview of the entire “quantum” realm.  Although noted as a “for dummies” book, it’s a great compendium for readers at any level and will help tie together the full spectrum of related technologies and application.

Quantum Computing for Dummies

By Whurley and Floyd Smith

 

Good intro book; quick/easy read and no linear algebra or familiarity with quantum mechanics required:

Quantum Computing (WIRED guides): How It Works and How It Could Change the World

by Amit Katwala

 

Another good intro book although the “for Everyone” is ambitious since it digs in a bit on quantum theory and math:

Quantum Computing for Everyone

by Chris Bernhardt

 

A deeper dive, but excellent overview of Quantum Computing. Exceptionally useful “Toolkit” sections which cover mathematical tools specifically necessary for Quantum Computing including details on linear algebra applications.
