Questions Before You Order?

Find quick answers about choosing a book, ebook delivery, instructor resources, shipping, and returns.

Which book should I start with?

Begin with Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Computing if you want to strengthen the mathematics needed for the field. If you are already comfortable with linear algebra and related foundations, begin with Quantum Computing and Information. Choose Quantum Algorithms and Applications after you understand qubits, gates, circuits, and introductory quantum algorithms. More details →

Which ebook formats, devices, and reading applications are supported?

Amazon Kindle editions use Print Replica format; this preserves the page layout but does not support handwriting with Kindle Scribe. Ebooks sold directly by Polaris are Adobe DRM-protected PDFs and work with Adobe Digital Editions and compatible reading applications. Selected Onyx Boox, Kobo, and Supernote devices may offer a better annotation experience. VitalSource editions use the VitalSource Bookshelf applications and web reader.

Are examination copies or instructor resources available?

Faculty members considering a book for course adoption may contact Polaris to ask about examination copies, sample materials, and available instructor resources. Availability may vary by title.

What are the shipping costs and delivery times?

Shipping costs and delivery estimates depend on the destination and selected service. Please consult the Shipping Policy for current details.

What is the return policy?

Eligibility and procedures vary by product type. Please consult the Return and Refund Policy before requesting a return.
