Description

Quantum computing is a growing field, with many research projects focusing on programming quantum computers in the most efficient way possible. One of the biggest challenges faced with existing languages is that they work on low-level circuit model details and are not able to represent quantum programs accurately. Developed by researchers at ETH Zurich after analyzing languages including Q# and Qiskit, Silq is a high-level programming language that can be viewed as the C++ of quantum computers! Quantum Computing with Silq Programming helps you explore Silq and its intuitive and simple syntax to enable you to describe complex tasks with less code. This book will help you get to grips with the constructs of the Silq and show you how to write quantum programs with it. You’ll learn how to use Silq to program quantum algorithms to solve existing and complex tasks. Using quantum algorithms, you’ll also gain practical experience in useful applications such as quantum error correction, cryptography, and quantum machine learning. Finally, you’ll discover how to optimize the programming of quantum computers with the simple Silq. By the end of this Silq book, you’ll have mastered the features of Silq and be able to build efficient quantum applications independently.

Who is this book for?

This Silq quantum computing book is for students, researchers, and scientists looking to learn quantum computing techniques and software development. Quantum computing enthusiasts who want to explore this futuristic technology will also find this book useful. Beginner-level knowledge of any programming language as well as mathematical topics such as linear algebra, probability, complex numbers, and statistics is required.

I have found the book Quantum Computing with Silq Programming to be a very nice and gentle introduction to the topic of quantum computing and Silq programming. The manner in which Srinjoy and Thomas covers the details in the book is truly commendable and it has helped me to develop a thorough understanding behind the mathematical concepts behind quantum computing. The Silq codes provided and developed for each of the quantum algorithms are very intuitive and the codes translates from the mathematical description of the algorithm perfectly. This translation makes the coding very clear and easy to understand. The best aspect of the book which I like is that both Srinjoy and Thomas have tried to cover some real life applications of quantum computing such as quantum error correction, quantum cryptography and quantum machine learning, all of which are explained in a lot of detail. The authors have done a great job to cover all the major quantum algorithms in sufficient detail so it does not leave any further questions. The book has been able to convince me to use Silq language and contribute to its development as it is easily one of the simplest quantum programming language with an advantage of automatic uncomputation! I strongly recommend this book to everyone who want to dive deep into the wonders of Silq language!

This book’s coverage is very wide-ranging, comprehensive and detailed.The required mathematics is presented in the first chapter at a level that presupposes that readers have some knowledge of linear algebra, probability, complex numbers, and statistics; for such readers the treatment should be sufficient.Two further chapters cover all the quantum physics groundwork required for readers to understand how to begin quantum computing and one more covers the hardware aspects.The rest of the book is devoted to Silq programming, beginning with the nuts and bolts of data types, control structures and functions. There follows discussions of famous quantum algorithms and real-world applications. The book concludes with, unusually for books of this ilk, a fascinating chapter on what must surely become of increasing importance as more and better hardware comes on stream: quantum machine learning.I found the authors of this book to be extremely knowledgeable in their field and to be able to put across the complexities and subtleties of quantum programming in a lucid, well-structured and, above all, interesting and thoughtful manner.The only real competition for this book that I can find at this time is the official documentation which is helpful resource but in no way sufficient by itself. Other books may follow but this one is surely destined to become the go-to resource for students, researchers, and scientists looking to learn quantum computing techniques and high-level quantum programming development with Silq.Tony Holdroyd. 06/08/2021.

I highly recommend this book because, I was just a beginner and wanted guidance in this domain and I purchased this book to my surprise that when I started reading this book, its like a novel and time passed , I was so much indulging with the words of author. A big salute to Mr. Srinjoy and Mr. Thomas for their excellency in drafting such a high-end technology in a user-readable format. Any Beginner should definitely try this book at least once to gain deep knowledge on Quantum Computing with Silq language.

POE Jul 11, 2021

The Silq programming language is one of the newest programming languages and is, as you would expect for quantum computing, a strong static type-system. The book starts with a great introduction (or review for some) on quantum computing mathematics (i.e., linear algebra, matrices, planes, etc.). The authors spend sufficient time on Quantum Bits, Logic Gates, and Circuits.Silq Programming coverage does not start until after the first 100-pages and includes sufficient information on the new language’s features. Instructions are provided for installing Microsoft Visual Studio Code and the Silq plugin. Advanced algorithms are covered in selected areas to include quantum parallelism and interference, search algorithms, Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), error correction, cryptography, machine learning, and quantum machine learning.This niche book is ideal for quantum programmers, engineers, or scientists. The Silq programming language is specially for quantum computing.
