    Want to understand quantum computing and related techonology?

    Cast your beady eyes over this little lot (all 836 pages of it!)

    Understanding Quantum Technologies, by Olivier Ezratty

    Seriously, the author says he is an IT specialist and on a brief skim so far, it looks quite interesting and relatively approachable.

    On his blog at http://www.oezratty.net/wordpress/ (mostly in French, sadly) he says of this free ebook:

    Is it yet another ebook on quantum physics or quantum computing? Well, I hope not! It fills a lot of gaps found in the current literature. This ebook has been in the making for over three years now. It’s the fourth edition of an ebook initially published in French in three previous versions and now, for the first time, in English. ..

    I heard a technology simplification managing director use the words blockchain and quantum compute and I was sure she was bluffing ....

    Is quantum computing even available outside university and in an industry setting?!

      Just be warned if you do buy one, your cat will die when the open the box, or will it?

        …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

          I'm only in to Quantum computing when I'm being watched.

                Ah OK, I guess I'll understand once I've read the book!

                  It was more a clever play on the fact the original post is about a book that 'quite interesting and relatively approachable' and NotAClueOutsideUK asked a question the book can answer.

                  Maybe it wasn't that clever

                    You'd understand if you read the quantum IQ levels of posts from the poster that NLUK replied to
