Dancing with Python

Millions of software developers use Python, and it is a powerful foundation for classical and quantum computing. Dancing with Python teaches you how to create elegant and efficient code using Pythonic techniques. Its integrated introduction to quantum computing development helps you extend your skills to the next major computing technology.

---

Develop skills in Python and Quantum Computing by implementing exciting algorithms, mathematical functions, classical searching, data analysis, plotting data, machine learning techniques, and quantum circuits.

Key Features

Create quantum circuits and algorithms using Qiskit and run them on quantum computing hardware and simulators
Learn the Pythonic way to write elegant and efficient code
Delve into Python's advanced features, including machine learning, analyzing data, and searching

Book DescriptionDancing 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.

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

Who this book is forThe 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.
