Textbook in PDF format This compendium brings together the fields of Quantum Computing, Machine Learning, and Neuromorphic Computing. It provides an elementary introduction for students and researchers interested in quantum or neuromorphic computing to the basics of machine learning and the possibilities for using quantum devices for pattern recognition and Bayesian decision tree problems. The volume also highlights some possibly new insights into the meaning of quantum mechanics, for example, why a description of Nature requires probabilistic rather than deterministic methods.
