Computer technology has improved exponentially over the last 50 years. But the headroom for bigger and better electronic solutions is running out. Our best hope is to engage the power of quantum physics. “Quantum algorithms” had already been written long before hardware was built. These would enable, for example, a quantum computer to exponentially speed up an information search or crack the mathematical trick behind internet security.

You have read the headlines. Quantum computing will crack today’s encryption. It will simulate molecules no supercomputer can touch. It will solve optimization problems that have stumped logistics networks for decades. Every time you try to follow the explanation, the jargon arrives like a wall — qubits, superposition, decoherence, entanglement — and the tab gets closed. Meanwhile, the boardrooms, research labs, and defense agencies that understand this technology are already making decisions that will reshape your industry, your data, and your career. The gap between those who ...

This book describes quantum computing, gives some mathematical background with a sample of coding, shares the problems to get it into large-scale use, and describes the ethical problems, humanitarian problems, military ramifications, and the likely developments of its marriage with AI. There are a few equations in the book but the book is not complicated on the whole to read and understand.

"Quantum AI: Beyond the Bit" is a comprehensive, application-focused textbook designed to equip computer science students and developers with the practical skills needed to build applications at the intersection of quantum computing and artificial intelligence. This book demystifies Quantum AI by treating it as an engineering discipline. It eschews dense theoretical physics in favor of a clear, step-by-step methodology for designing, coding, and implementing quantum-enhanced machine learning models. We start with a simple question—"How can we use a quantum computer to solve an AI problem?...

Billions of people around the globe use various applications of spatial computing daily - by using a ride-sharing app, GPS, social media check-ins, even Pokemon Go. Scientists and researchers use spatial computing to track diseases, map the bottom of the oceans, chart the behavior of endangered species, and create election maps in real time. Drones and driverless cars use a variety of spatial computing technologies. Spatial computing works by understanding the physical world, knowing and communicating our relation to places in that world, and navigating through those places.
