Share Description
"Quantum Computing" is one of those terms that is frequently discussed but often poorly understood. The reasons for this state of affairs could be numerous, but one of the most important is that it is a relatively new scientific area with few clear interpretations. The main impediment here is the word "quantum," which refers to quantum mechanics, which is one of the most illogical ways to describe our world.
But don't worry! This is not a quantum mechanics course. We will gently touch it at first and then leave it alone, focusing on the mathematical model of a quantum computer that physicists have generously developed for us. This does not imply that the entire course is mathematics (however there will be enough of it). We will construct a simple working quantum computer with our bare hands and consider some algorithms designed for larger quantum computers that have yet to be developed.
The course material is intended for computer scientists, engineers, and programmers who believe that something other than HLL programming will propel our computing power to infinity.
Because this is an introductory course, the only prerequisites are complex numbers and linear algebra. These two are required, and they must be sufficient.
Good luck with your studies!
