Simons Institute via YouTube

Overview

Explore quantum algorithms in this comprehensive lecture from the Quantum Wave in Computing Boot Camp. Delve into key techniques including Discrete and Quantum Fourier Transform, the Deutsch-Jozsa and Bernstein-Vazirani algorithms, and Jordan's quantum algorithm for gradients. Examine generalizations and applications, including a simpler algorithm for graph isomorphism and approaches to approximating the Jones polynomial. Investigate Hamiltonian simulation techniques, ground state preparation, and continuous-time quantum walks. Gain insights into the exponential speedup potential of quantum algorithms through this in-depth overview presented by András Gilyén from Caltech.
