About

This book teaches quantum computing from first principles using QRL (Quantum Relational Language) - a relations-first approach to quantum programming that compiles directly to Measurement-Based Quantum Computing (MBQC).

Contents

• Part I: Quantum Foundations - Qubits, entanglement, n-qubit systems
• Part II: MBQC Theory - Cluster states, graph states, measurement patterns
• Part III: QRL Programming - Hands-on tutorials with working code
• Part IV: Advanced Topics - Tensor networks, categorical QM, fault-tolerance
