Next Steps

To read about individual components of the Intel® Quantum SDK, see the accompanying documents Developers Guide and Reference, Tutorials, FLEQ Guide and Reference and API Reference.

To explore examples included with the Intel® Quantum SDK, look in the /<path to IQSDK>/quantum_examples/ and /<path to IQSDK>/python-quantum-examples/ directories.

Fundamentals

To find out more about the core concepts of quantum computing, such as qubit mathematics or quantum circuit representations, we recommend using a textbook such as

  1. “Quantum Computation and Quantum Information” by Nielsen and Chuang [NC10].

  2. “Quantum Computing for Computer Scientists” by Yanofsky and Mannucci [YM08].

  3. “Quantum Computing: An Applied Approach” by Hidary [HH19].

To brush up on C++, we recommend the latest edition of “Tour of C++” by Bjarne Stroustrup [Str22]. In our code, we strive to adhere to the LLVM style standard to simplify working with our APIs.
