What subject is quantum computing?

The study of quantum computing is a subfield of quantum information science. Quantum computing began in 1980 when physicist Paul Benioff proposed a quantum mechanical model of the Turing machine.

What math is used in 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 subjects should I study to become a quantum physicist?

Eventually you will want to learn aspects of all of these fields, but when starting you can use any for an entry into the field. Within each field, the subjects you will want to know are: Physics: First learn quantum mechanics. At more advanced levels, various aspects of quantum information overlap with AMO, condensed matter and high energy.

What are some good resources to learn more about quantum computing?

If you haven’t had any CS theory exposure, undergrad algorithms is a good place to start because it will show you CS-theory ways of thinking, including ideas like asymptotic analysis. General quantum computing texts:Here is a very partial list of resources for learning more about quantum computing and quantum information.

What is the definition of quantum computing?

Other answers to this question have been written by Chris Ferrie(more introductory than this page) and Xiaodi Wu(more comprehensive than this page). General background:Quantum computing (theory) is at the intersection of math, physics and computer science. (Experiment also can involve electrical engineering.)
