The rigor, the mathematical detail, and the inclusion of proofs are very important contributions ... . the book is well written and easy to read. Concepts, ideas, and algorithms are very well illustrated with simple examples but then also explained in exquisite mathematical detail, followed by concise yet nicely explained codification in Cirq or Qiskit.
