This book provides an easy-to-read but practical introduction to quantum gate simulation to serious learners of the subject. Fundamental physical concepts and selected programming examples of quantum simulations are described for readers who want to use the simulation with a physical understanding background without the use of rigorous mathematics.

As a self-contained book, quantum mechanics and linear algebra used are introduced at the start and Python’s practical quantum gates simulation platform, Blueqat, is used to demonstrate how to simulate the quantum gates and algorithms. However, no prior knowledge of Python is required, and the work is accompanied by actual simulation program codes and outputs for users to use before building to developing their own code.

Appendices provide an introduction to the industrial resources offered by Microsoft, IBM, Google, and D-wave for the readers who want to utilize their cutting-edge services used in the field.
