    • Learn how it may become the most important new computer technology of the century
    • Explore the inner workings of quantum computing technology to quickly process complex cloud data and solve problems

    Book Description

    Quantum computing is making us change the way we think about computers. Quantum bits, a.k.a. qubits, can make it possible to solve problems that would otherwise be intractable with current computing technology.

    Dancing with Qubits is a quantum computing textbook that starts with an overview of why quantum computing is so different from classical computing and describes several industry use cases where it can have a major impact. From there it moves on to a fuller description of classical computing and the mathematical underpinnings necessary to understand such concepts as superposition, entanglement, and interference. Next up is circuits and algorithms, both basic and more sophisticated. It then nicely moves on to provide a survey of the physics and engineering ideas behind how quantum computing hardware is built. Finally, the book looks to the future and gives you guidance on understanding how further developments will affect you.

    Really understanding quantum computing requires a lot of math, and this book doesn’t shy away from the necessary math concepts you’ll need. Each topic is introduced and explained thoroughly, in clear English with helpful examples.

    What you will learn

    • See how quantum computing works, delve into the math behind it, what makes it different, and why it is so powerful with this quantum computing textbook
    • Discover the complex, mind-bending mechanics that underpin quantum systems
    • Understand the necessary concepts behind classical and quantum computing
    • Refresh and extend your grasp of essential mathematics, computing, and quantum theory
    • Explore the main applications of quantum computing to the fields of scientific computing, AI, and elsewhere
    • Examine a detailed overview of qubits, quantum circuits, and quantum algorithm

    Who this book is for

    Dancing with Qubits is a quantum computing textbook for those who want to deeply explore the inner workings of quantum computing. This entails some sophisticated mathematical exposition and is therefore best suited for those with a healthy interest in mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer science.

  • Foundations of Safety Science: A Century of Understanding Accidents and Disasters

    How are today’s ‘hearts and minds’ programs linked to a late-19th century definition of human factors as people’s moral and mental deficits? What do Heinrich’s ‘unsafe acts’ from the 1930’s have in common with the Swiss cheese model of the early 1990’s? Why was the reinvention of human factors in the 1940’s such an important event in the development of safety thinking? What makes many of our current systems so complex and impervious to Tayloristic safety interventions? ‘Foundations of Safety Science’ covers the origins of major schools of safety thinking, and traces the heritage and interlinkages of the ideas that make up safety science today.

    Features

      • Offers a comprehensive overview of the theoretical foundations of safety science
      • Provides balanced treatment of approaches since the early 20th century, showing interlinkages and cross-connections

      • An Introduction to Hydraulics of Fine Sediment Transport (Advanced Series on Ocean Engineering Book 56)

        This book expounds the hydraulics of fine sediment which is almost ubiquitously found in coastal and estuarine waters, and in rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Although the basic subject may be categorized as applied marine physics in shallow waters, several physicochemical and biological effects on particulate transport have been addressed.

        In this second edition most of the chapters have been substantially updated, rewritten, and expanded. Overall, a significant change has also been made throughout by replacing sediment concentration, a unit dependent quantity at the heart of numerous descriptions, measurements, and calculations, with the nondimensional sediment volume fraction. It marks a divergence in the manner in which fine sediment transport data and calculations are conventionally presented.

        The book is mainly written for civil engineering seniors and graduate students, to offer a comprehensive foundation in hydraulics of fine sediment. The book is also a useful reference for researchers interested in the effects of physical chemistry and biology on fine sediment transport in water and to an extent on coastal and estuarine morphodynamics, sediment transport, port and harbor engineering, and applied shallow watwer marine physics. The book is also recommended reading for those interested in understanding particle transport in water.

        Related Link(s)

        Readership: Teachers, researchers, upper division undergraduates and graduate students in civil engineering, environmental engineering and coastal geology; Courses in sediment transport, port and harbor engineering, and applied shallow watwer marine physics.

        • Technical Engineering Drawing Manual Following ISO and BSI standards – Volume 1: 100 fully worked drawing examples featuring Design for Manufacturing principles

          01
          We use real-life scenarios to show what happens in day-to-day product development. The book’s examples are driven by Design For Manufacturing (DfM), Systems Thinking, User-Centred Design, realistic tolerances and drawing annotations.

          This book gives every product designer, engineer, maker and manufacturer the skills to document, create and understand technical drawings: readers will benefit from this book regardless of their experience level.

          The 100 examples apply to any industry: from robotics and medical devices to machinery and aerospace. We address outdated practices from old standards that have no place in modern times, but we still find them in most design offices.

          Throughout the book, we use proven design workflows to help you develop mechanical systems cost-effectively, integrating ISO standards for technical annotation and document management. The workflows include document revision control, ISO and BS 8888: 2020 compliance, Bill of Materials (BOM), part dimensioning and tolerancing.

          PROTONIUM dedicates its efforts to spreading manufacturing knowledge that conditions parts’ design and how they are made. We believe that by designing with DfM considerations and thorough technical documentation, engineering companies and manufacturers can reduce the iteration cycles, minimise the use of raw materials, reduce their carbon footprint and break into the market faster.

          Introducing this book into a company’s training workflow will have several operational positive impacts:
          • Engineering managers can bring consistent training by providing the engineers with the means to develop their design for manufacturing skills.
          • Project managers will de-risk design deliverables and keep the project’s cost lower as designs are cost-effective to manufacture.
          • Supply Chain professionals will get faster supplier quotes because designs are manufacturable.
          • Designers will iterate less and deliver faster because their designs are developed in fewer iterations as the features can be manufactured.
          • Companies will reduce development costs and increase quality in tandem with elevating the agility to react to market changes.

          Climate change is one of the most significant challenges facing the global community in the twenty-first century. With its position at the border of people, technology, science, and communication, technical communication has a significant role to play in helping to solve these complex environmental problems. This collection of essays engages scholars and practitioners in a conversation about how the field has contributed to pragmatic and democratic action to address climate change. Compared to most prior work-which offers theoretical perspectives of environmental communication-this collection explores the actual practice of international technical communicators who participate in government projects, corporate processes, nonprofit programs, and international agency work, demonstrating how technical communication theories such as participatory design, social justice, and ethics can help shape pragmatic environmental action.
