P-BITS AND Q-BITS: PROBABILISTIC AND QUANTUM COMPUTING: Probabilistic and Quantum Computing

This book is the third volume in the New Era Electronics lecture notes series, a compilation of volumes defining the important concepts tied to the electronics transition happening in the 21st century.

The material is adapted from a unique course that connects three diverse fields — statistical mechanics, neural networks and quantum computing — using the unifying concept of a state-space with 2N dimensions defined by N binary bits. First, the seminal concepts of statistical mechanics, develo...
