Dancing with Python: Learn Python software development from scratch and get started with quantum computing

Synopsis

Develop skills in Python by implementing exciting algorithms, including mathematical functions, classical searching, data analysis, plotting data, machine learning techniques, and quantum circuitsKey FeaturesLearn Python basics to write elegant and efficient codeCreate quantum circuits and algorithms using Qiskit and run them on quantum computing hardware and simulatorsDelve into Python's advanced features, including machine learning, analyzing data, and searchingBook DescriptionCoding is the art and engineering of creating software, and Python has been one of the core coding languages for many years. This introductory Python book helps you learn classical and quantum computing in a unified and practical way. It will help you work with numbers, strings, collections, iterators, and files. The book goes beyond functions and classes and teaches you how to use Python and Qiskit to create gates and circuits for classical and quantum computing. Learn how quantum extends classical techniques using the Grover search algorithm and the code that implements it. Dive into some advanced and widely used applications of Python and revisit strings with more sophisticated tools such as regular expressions and basic natural language processing (NLP). The final chapters introduce you to data analysis, visualizations, and supervised and unsupervised machine learning. By the end of the book, you will be proficient in classical coding and programming using the latest and most powerful quantum computers.What you will learnCreate Python code using numbers, strings, collections, classes, objects, functions, conditionals, loops, and operatorsWrite succinct code the Pythonic way using magic methods, iterators, and generatorsExplore different quantum gates and use them to build quantum circuitsAnalyze data, build basic machine learning models, and plot the resultsSearch for information using traditional methods and the quantum Grover search algorithmOptimize and test your code to run efficientlyWho this book is forThe book is for Python and coding beginners. Basic familiarity with algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and logarithms is required as the book does not cover the detailed mathematics and theory of quantum computing. You can check out the author's Dancing with Qubits book, also published by Packt, for an approachable and comprehensive introduction to quantum computing.
