We've all heard the phrase quantum computing in the media and online, but do we understand what it is and the impacts? This course will provide you with an introduction to the information needed to understand quantum computing. You will learn the differences between quantum and traditional computing. The concept of parallelism will be introduced along with algorithms that are specific to quantum computing that will lead to a comprehension of the concept of quantum annealing.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • Understand what the basics of quantum computing are
    Understand the difference between physical and conceptual models of classical computation
    Describe the origins quantum computing and how it relates to classical computing
    Describe how a quantum computer is different from a classical computer
    Understand what qauntum parallelism and quantum interference are and how they affect a quantum computer
  • Explain what quantum gates are and how they differ from their classical analogs
    Explain how a universal algorithm works
    Give a beginner's explanation to universal quantum algorithms
    Understand what a quantum simulation is
    Understand what a quantum annealing computer is
