Design Automation of Quantum Computers

This book provides readers with a comprehensive, state-of-the-art reference to the design automation aspects of quantum computers.  Given roadmaps calling for quantum computers with 2000 qubits in a few years, readers will benefit from the practical implementation aspects covered in this book. The authors discuss real hardware to the extent possible.

• Provides an up-to-date, single-source reference to design automation aspects of quantum computers;
• Presentation is not just theoretical, but substantiated with real quantum hardware;
• Covers multi-faceted aspects of quantum computers, providing readers with valuable information, no matter the direction in which technology moves.
