What math do you need for quantum computing?
Linear Algebra
The basic maths that allows quantum computing to perform its magic is Linear Algebra. Everything in quantum computing, from the representation of qubits and gates to circuits’ functionality, can be described using various forms of Linear Algebra.
What do I need to study to work with quantum computing?
You should major in Computer *Science* or Physics, but not Computer Engineering. If you major in CS you should take lots of Theoretical Computer Science Courses (Discrete math, combinatorics, Algorithms, Computational Complexity, etc.)
Do computer scientists work on quantum computing?
4 Answers. Speaking as a computer scientist without any physics background making contributions to quantum computing: yes, computer scientists without any physics background can make contributions to quantum computing. As a concrete example: quantum physics is very heavy on calculus, but quantum computation isn’t.
Where can I learn quantum computing?

How to get started with quantum computing?
To get started with quantum, you will probably need to know some programming basics. Although there are currently some programming languages that are completely designed to program quantum computers, you don’t need to learn such languages when you get into the field.
What should I major in to become a quantum computer engineer?
A physics major, together with some theoretical computer science classes, might prepare you for grad school. If you’re more into designing algorithms for a quantum computer, you’ll want to major in CS (focus heavily on algorithms and theory classes), and at least a minor in math, taking at least one semester of abstract linear algebra.
How does IBM’s Quantum Experience work?
To the untrained eye, a circuit built with IBM’s online Quantum Experience tool looks like something out of an introductory computer-science course. Logic gates, the building blocks of computation, are arrayed on a digital canvas, transforming inputs into outputs.
What is 0quantum computing?
Quantum computing should be thought of as an ASIC, or “Application Specific Integrated Circuit” such as a GPU used to accelerate machine learning.
