• Quantum Computing for the Quantum Curious

  This open access book makes quantum computing more accessible than ever before. It bridges the gap between popular science articles and advanced textbooks by making key ideas accessible with just high school physics as a prerequisite.

• Introduction to Classical and Quantum Computing (Tom Wong)

  This book is for students who want to learn quantum computing beyond a conceptual level, but who lack advanced training in mathematics. The only prerequisite is trigonometry, and mathematics beyond that will be covered.

• Quantum Computing Freebook (Alastair I. M. Rae,, et al.)

  Provides a comprehensive introduction to the key applications of quantum mechanics, including quantum cryptography, quantum information, and Quantum Computing, features chapters culled from best-selling quantum physics and quantum mechanics titles.

• Learn Quantum Computation using Qiskit

  This textbook will teach you the concepts of quantum computing while you learn to use the Qiskit SDK. It is built on a jupyter notebook framework that allows for easy reading, but it also allows readers to edit and run the code right in the textbook.

• Quantum Computing: Progress and Prospects

  Provides an introduction to the Quantum Computing, including the unique characteristics and constraints of the technology, and assesses the feasibility and implications of creating a functional quantum computer capable of addressing real-world problems.

• Quantum Computing Since Democritus (Scott Aaronson)

  This book takes readers on a tour through some of the deepest ideas of maths, computer science and physics. Full of insights, arguments and philosophical perspectives, the book covers an amazing array of topics.

• The Physics of Quantum Mechanics (James Binney, et al.)

  This book aims to give students a good understanding of how quantum mechanics describes the material world. It shows that the theory follows naturally from the use of probability amplitudes to derive probabilities.

• Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Theory

  This is a collection of lecture notes, all shared a common interest in answering quantum issues. The goal is to give a mathematically clear and self-containing explanation of the main concepts of the modern language of quantum theory.

• An Introduction to Quantum Game Theory (J. Orlin Grabbe)

  This essay gives a self-contained introduction to Quantum Game Theory, and is primarily oriented to economists with little or no acquaintance with quantum mechanics. It assumes little more than a basic knowledge of vector algebra.
