Course description

This course will introduce the paradigm of quantum computing, covering fundamental topics in quantum information and quantum algorithms from the standpoint of a fault-tolerant universal quantum computer. No prior knowledge of quantum physics is required. Topics will include: the basics of quantum information, including qubits and quantum logic gates; the design and analysis of quantum algorithms, with applications such as Shor¿s algorithm for fast factorisation; and fundamentals of both classical and quantum computational complexity, including P vs NP for classical algorithms and BQP for quantum algorithms.
