Overview

Quantum computing exploits the quantum mechanical nature of matter to simultaneously exist in multiple possible states. Building upon the digital binary logic of bits, quantum computing is built on the basis of interacting two-level quantum systems or ‘qubits’ that follow the laws of quantum mechanics. The addressability of the quantum system and its fragility to fidelity are the major issues of concern, which if addressed appropriately, will enable this new approach to revolutionize the present form of computing. After developing the basics, this course delves into various implementation aspects of quantum computing and quantum information processing.

  • Gowtham Kolla
    Overall, I found the quantum computing course to be quite insightful and engaging. The course did an excellent job of introducing the fundamental concepts and principles of quantum computing, making it accessible to students with varying levels of prior knowledge.

    One of the course's strengths was its structured approach to presenting complex topics. The material was well-organized, starting with the basics of quantum mechanics and gradually building up to more advanced quantum computing concepts. This progression allowed for a smooth transition and a deeper understanding of the subject matter.
