Description

Dancing with Python helps you learn Python and quantum computing in a practical way. It will help you explore how to work with numbers, strings, collections, iterators, and files. The book goes beyond functions and classes and teaches you to use Python and Qiskit to create gates and circuits for classical and quantum computing. Learn how quantum extends traditional 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 programming the latest and most powerful quantum computers, the Pythonic way.

Who is this book for?

The book will help you get started with coding for Python and Quantum Computing. 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.

What you will learn

Explore different quantum gates and build quantum circuits with Qiskit and Python

Write succinct code the Pythonic way using magic methods, iterators, and generators

Analyze data, build basic machine learning models, and plot the results

Search for information using the quantum Grover Search Algorithm

Optimize and test your code to run efficiently

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

I have picked up the book a few days ago for learning python for practicing quantum computing. The author has explained all the concepts clearly for anyone to understand and so far this book has exceeded my expectations.

I don't know Python and last wrote code at college in the late 1980s. I don't know Quantum but I do know it is going to change the world very soon. I picked up the book this evening and have read Chapter 1, while also watching a movie. I understood every word I read. Rob has made this really plain English, using relatable examples. Very pleasantly surprised.

This review is based only on a high level reading of the free Kindle material, but i will write a full review after i get a copy of this rather unique book, which will be soon! I like the approach the author has taken. Robert introduces complicated theories and principles using every day terms and scenarios, such as comparing cooking a meal to how a program works in easy to follow steps.The author first introduces the reader to all the main features of Python in a gradual, methodical way. Basis types and operations; File I/O; Object Oriented Classes and programming; functions; Exceptions; and the ubiquitous Python Libraries. There is also a chapter on Testing your code which bodes well for improving the quality of a design.The author then moves onto describing the basics of Quantum computing linking this to the QisKit Open Source Quantum toolkit. QisKit uses Python 3.6+ and can be run on Jupyter Notebooks. There is some basic theory on how this type of computing may be implemented and the results observed using Python (employing Pandas DataFrames and the Python plotting libraries). Later chapters briefly explain Natural Language processing, AI, ML.All in all this looks to be an interesting and comprehensive introduction to both Python programming and Quantum Computing.

Hi,I was contacted by Packt to review the book Dancing With Python. I’m not linked with the editor, the review is mine.Review:The first part (~330 pages) is about python. It’s hard to compete on this part due to all the materials available on the market. Hundreds of books are published on python. Why this one is different? Clean, clear, precise, and visual.I like the way the author presents things with snippets and graphs.The first part covers all that is needed in scientific computation with python. You’ll also find some references with Dancing With Qubits the previous book of the author.I also appreciate that there are chapters on comments and documentation because, most of the time, both are the weak part of the development phase. It’s good to see this in a book.The second part has a focus on quantum computing but with a python way. You’ll find tons of information on how to use gates with Qiskit and python, also how to use real devices (IBM quantum).How about quantum algorithms? As previously, the author provides good descriptions of different algorithms and a good visual to understand how they worked.Surprisingly, the third part is the use of python to manipulate objects like: string manipulations (regular expressions, NLP etc…). Charts and plots. Analysis. and Machine Learning.Why is surprising? It’s because, for me, this breaks the flow. We study how to use python in classical way, the different core components and how to use them in a developer fashion. We then pass to Quantum computing to see how python is used with IBM quantum. And, we return to the classical way to study different functionalities. For me, part II and part III should have been reversed so that the information flow is more fluid.Global:It’s a very excellent book, Robert Sutor has a real gift for explaining things in a simple, precise way with fun and visual applications. Highly recommended for beginners.

If you're interested in programming machine learning, big data, quantum computing or any project that requires large complex computations, then you will most likely need to develop your work using Python. This book is written for all developers, whether you are new to Python or have years of Python programming experience. Dr. Sutor provides an excellent learning path from beginner to advanced while providing great examples. So if you are a student learning Python as part of your course, a professor looking for a textbook, or a self-study individual looking to expand your experience, then this book is definitely one for your shelf! Particularly if your goal is to continue on to learn how to program on a quantum computer.
