Overview of this book

Dancing with Qubits, Second Edition, is a comprehensive quantum computing textbook that starts with an overview of why quantum computing is so different from classical computing and describes several industry use cases where it can have a major impact. A full description of classical computing and the mathematical underpinnings of quantum computing follows, helping you better understand concepts such as superposition, entanglement, and interference. Next up are circuits and algorithms, both basic and sophisticated, as well as a survey of the physics and engineering ideas behind how quantum computing hardware is built. Finally, the book looks to the future and gives you guidance on understanding how further developments may affect you. This new edition is updated throughout with more than 100 new exercises and includes new chapters on NISQ algorithms and quantum machine learning. Understanding quantum computing requires a lot of math, and this book doesn't shy away from the necessary math concepts you'll need. Each topic is explained thoroughly and with helpful examples, leaving you with a solid foundation of knowledge in quantum computing that will help you pursue and leverage quantum-led technologies.

14.1 Ecosystem and community

“Ecosystem” is an overused and often vague word regarding groups of individuals who have some connection to an activity. I will now try to be more precise in describing the breadth of the quantum computing ecosystem. Quantum Advantage

The goal of the ecosystem is to reach Practical Quantum Advantage, where quantum computing with classical computing can do significantly better than classical computing alone on significant problems for business, science, and government. I do not consider a slight improvement over classical methods true Quantum Advantage. I am also suspicious of announcements of advantages that do not apply to the problems of societal or commercial value.

For the following sections, think about what role or roles you have or want to have in the quantum computing ecosystem, and then answer those questions relevant to you.

What role or roles do you play in the quantum computing ecosystem?
