Best Quantum Computing Books for Software Engineers | Learn to Program Quantum Computers
Some of you write to me asking how do you start learning quantum computing if you don’t have a physics background? I finally have the holy grail resource for you!
We need to train more people to think in the quantum way and understand how a quantum computer works. However, traditionally, you had to go through a few years of math before studying quantum computing.
But I don’t think everyone needs a PhD to be able to contribute to quantum computing. We have cloud computing systems available right now and you can send code to a real quantum computer.
But there haven’t been many resources, until just recently, that allowed someone from a non physics background to dive in depth into quantum computing.
So, I’ve finally found the holy grail of the best quantum computing books for software engineers – Jack Hidary’s book Quantum Computing: An Applied Approach.
I absolutely love this book and in my view, this should be the first book someone with a technical, but non-physics background, should pick up. It’s easy to read and covers the basics of everything you need to know to start getting involved in quantum computing- including the mathematical background, quantum mechanics, hardware, and software.
Hope you enjoy!!!
Anastasia

Ma’am You forgot about Quantum Mechanics by Zettili, especially for solving problems using Diracs Notations…
hii anastasya
Thank you so much for this compilation!
Thanks, I’m a student engineering and lately I’m so interested about quantum computing but here in Mexico we don’t have asignatures o even a good level about physics o programming like other countries and this type of videos give me the hope to explore a little more having a reference to start reading about it
Thank you! This is what I’ve been looking for. I don’t have a background in physics but i’m familiar with computer science. Hopefully this will make the physics part a little easier to understand.
I’m really slow book reader. I don’t have habit of reading books. and english isn’t my native language. good presenting of books and cute doggo. 😌
More than Video I was looking to you.. Beautiful 🙂 By the way thanks for the sharing information of books on Quantum computers
It is a helpful video.
You did a good job Here .
I’m yearning to study quantum computing but I don’t know how valuable it will be to my present field: I’m a (Bengr) Mechatronics engineering student in Nigeria, with knowledge of python and C++. What do you say?
The matrices are coming.
Thanks for the video Anastasia. I just downloaded all the pdfs of the books that you listed. Guess it’s time to binge-read in this quarantine!
This is amazing Anastasia!
Can you do a video on post quantum protection, cryptocurrencies, and QRL or Quantum Resistant Ledger?
Hey Anastasia, do you have any suggestions for books/papers on quantum annealing or adiabatic quantum computation algorithms? I have found a lot of resources for the logic gate model, but not as many yet for quantum annealing. I’ve watch most of the webcasts by D-wave, and have a played around a bit a couple examples in leap, but there’s so much I still don’t know. Any advice would be great!
Quantum computing doesnt actually seem that complicated, only when people from outside of these fields talk about it.
thank you
Can you please suggest books for someone who wants to get into the hardware part of quantum computing? TIA
Can you please make a discord server for discussions?
I gave a course on quantum computing this semester and, sadly, I didn’t know about Hidary’s book — thanks for the recommendation!
Question: how would be the perfect book/syllabus for you on quantum computing if you have students from math, physics and computation?
im here after the gary vaynerchuk video! keep up the good work!
If anyone wants some introductory approach of the math behind quantum computing I’d also recomend McMahon’s book, Quantum Computing Explained. It has a lot of exercices and examples.
hey man this was a great list!
Thank you so much.
can I find this books format PDF ?
My God she is gorgeous… Lucky physicist…
I have a tradesman and truck driving ( semis ) back ground, but i’m interested
Thank you so much for the video! I’ve been looking for a long time for such a video
Quantum computing for computer scientists by Noson was my go-to along with Nielsen and Chuang. Guess I’ve got a whole new set of books to explore now. Thanks Anastasia!
Took physics (many years ago), and while I sort of understand Quantum Computing, this was very helpful to get me a little further into it. Mainly do photography and writing, but this might just inspire me to take another look at QC. Thanks!
how do you read/learn this books so faster x) ?
I know python, please help me which book i"ll buy to learn quantum computing from beginners.
Thanks a lot Anastasia I was searching for a list like this. Love and respect from India 🇮🇳🙏
Hi, I have completed Masters in Physics and now I am doing a project on classical Machine Learning but my interest to do on QML. I need.your help, could you please…I want to study a complete basic tutorial on quantum machine learning to make a project. Please tell me the tutorial that a non technical person also can understand QML and videos on basics. I hope you reply me asap.
Quantum Computer Science by David Mermin is also quite good and more computer science focused.
Anastasia what are your thoughts on getting started with true ML with Quantum Computing? I see a number of Qiskit examples which really do not work with any real ML algorithms however seem to simulate such an environment. I have developed a Quantum Game in Pygame on my channel and a few QApps which are full-stack apps that call to the IBM Server Farm in NY however do not have much info on Quantum ML. Thanks in advance.
Glad to have found this resource. Would love your opinion on the Stanford continuing education course that is scheduled to run this fall!
Thanks, Anastasia. This is very interesting. Useful book recommendations. I did a computer science degree decades ago and was a software engineer for years (C++) before moving into other careers. I’m now a filmmaker, but I’m fascinated by quantum computing and quantum mechanics in general. If I learned to code for quantum computers, are there ways to run code on actual quantum computers?
This video made me feel like getting into quantum computing, and I’ve only just started getting into software programming and web development. Lmao. Very well explained on where to begin. I’m curious though, what got you into quantum mechanics?
A better way to study quantum mech at ugrad level is to start via D Mcintyres book and then after 5th chapter (where wave functions are introduced) start reading Griffiths
An easy intro to quantum computation is to read the book by Mcmohan
Thanks for the links. Thumbs up for your 4-legged research assistant.
Thanks a lots for these books.
But why your dog so laz.
where are the next video………….
It’s easier for a Physicists to learn coding rather than learning Quantum Mechanics for an engineer.

good
Just found your channel on tiktok, I wish you the best with your studies and work!
Cute
Best video
Thanks alot!
