Introduction to Quantum Computing
Classical vs. Quantum The Role of Mathematics
Classical computers use bits, which can be either 0 or Mathematics plays a crucial role in quantum

intractable for classical computers.
The History of Quantum
Computing
1 Early Exploration
The idea of computation based on quantum mechanics was first
explored in the 1970s and early 1980s by physicists and computer
scientists such as Charles H. Bennet, Paul A. Beniof, David
Deustch, and Richard P. Feynman.
2 Feynman's Vision
In 1982, Feynman proposed a new kind of computer based on the
principles of quantum physics.
3 Influential Text
The book "Quantum Computation and Quantum Information" by
Neil and Issac Chuang has been a source of inspiration for many
researchers in the field.
Linear Algebra in Quantum Computing
Quantum States and Vectors Quantum Gates
A quantum state is represented by a vector in a Quantum gates, which manipulate qubits, are
complex vector space. For a single qubit, the state is represented by unitary matrices. Examples include the

The Bloch Sphere:
Visualizing Quantum
States
The Bloch sphere is a three-dimensional geometrical
representation of a qubit's possible states. It is a unit sphere, with
the north and south poles representing the |0⟩ and |1⟩ states,
respectively. All other points on the sphere represent superposition
states.
The Bloch sphere is a useful tool for visualizing the evolution of
quantum states. The trajectory of a vector over the Bloch sphere
represents the quantum state and its evolution.
