Ask HN: Any good books for a layman on history of quantum computing?

26•bmau5•3mo ago
I recently read Genius Makers and very much enjoyed it, and was wondering if there were any similar books to help me better understand where we currently are regarding QC and how we got here

A bit more technical but the absolute best book on quantum computing is "Quantum Computation and Quantum Information" by Nielsen and Chuang. It’s also a pretty good introduction on quantum mechanics in general.

Thank you!

You might want to take a look at “Quantum Computing Since Democritus” by Scott Aaronson. I believe it’s based on the course he taught at the University of Waterloo.

I'd also recommend studying quantum mechanics more generally, and a great intro there is Brian Cox's The Quantum Universe.
