Quantum Computing for Professionals
Science & Engineering
Course overview
This module provides a broad overview of quantum computing and its various forms and realisations. We provide an overview of available programming paradigms, frameworks for quantum computing. We provide basic concepts and hands-on examples of major forms quantum algorithm. These include basic algorithms for fault-tolerant quantum computing, as well as adiabatic and variational algorithms. From the last category we provide a more in-depth treatment of quantum machine learning due to its popularity.
