Introduction

The development of a quantum computer calls on expertise in a wide range of scientific fields, including quantum mechanics, as well as experimental and theoretical physics, photonics, computer science, and software engineering.

This list is for you if you are a physicist, a computer scientist, or a student who is interested in becoming a quantum computing scientist.

The topics include:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Quantum information processing
  • Quantum computing
  • Quantum information theory

If you are also considering graduate school, you should start by reading: "Preparing for the quantum revolution: What is the role of higher education"
