Introduction to quantum computing by Ciro Santilli 37  Updated 2025-05-13  +Created 1970-01-01
Course plan:
  • Section "Programmer's model of quantum computers"
  • look at a Qiskit hello world
    • e.g. ours: qiskit/hello.py
  • learn about quantum circuits.
    • tensor product in quantum computing
    • First we learn some quantum logic gates. This shows an alternative, and extremely important view of a quantum computer besides a matrix multiplication: as a circuit. Fundamental subsections:
      • Section "Quantum logic gates are needed because you can't compute the matrix explicitly as it grows exponentially"
      • Section "Quantum logic gates are needed for physical implementation"
      • Section "Universal quantum gates"
      • Section "Quantum circuits vs classical circuits"
      • Examples of specific gates:
        • Single-qubit gates:
          • Pauli gate
            • Pauli-X gate
          • Hadamard gate
        • Controlled quantum gate
          • CNOT gate
        • Bell state
          • Bell circuit
    • quantum algorithms
      • Section "Quantum Fourier transform"
      • Section "Shor's algorithm"
