Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- use the mathematical framework of quantum computation to predict outcomes of quantum circuits
- explain and analyse quantum algorithms described in quantum circuit and measurement-based quantum computing models
- discuss the difference of performance between classical and quantum computer for different computational tasks
- master notions of more advanced topics, such as error correction on algorithms for near-term architectures
- critically read and understand scientific literature on quantum computing
