Fundamentals of Quantum Computing
Do you want to learn about how calculations are performed on quantum computers, with practical examples on simulators and real hardware?
In this course, we will talk about some of the most famous quantum algorithms, along with practical tutorials on how to use them. We will aim to enhance your understanding of the common challenges where a quantum algorithm can give an alternative to the classical method, as well as making you more familiar with existing implementations of quantum algorithms, which you can then make use of in your own work
In this Independent Level course, you will discover:
- What Quantum Algorithms are and how they help us to build applications
- How to make use of free, open source resources to learn about quantum computing
- Grover’s Algorithm and how to apply this quantum search algorithm with practical exercises
- Shor’s Algorithm and complete practical exercises to learn how to apply this prime factorisation algorithm
- Real applications of quantum computing that the Hartree Centre have achieve in collaborations so far
Pre-requisites:
- Basic knowledge of Python
- Previous completion of Practical Guide to Quantum Computing
