Quantum computing is revolutionizing the tech world, and this course is designed to guide you through this emerging field. You’ll begin with foundational concepts, exploring classical and quantum gates, entanglement, and circuit creation using Qiskit. These hands-on exercises will give you the skills to build and run quantum circuits on simulators and real IBM quantum computers.
As the course progresses, you’ll delve into some of the most important algorithms that define quantum computing's potential. Learn about teleportation, superdense coding, and algorithms such as Bernstein-Vazirani, Deutsch, and Grover’s, implementing each in Qiskit. This step-by-step journey builds your understanding of how these algorithms work and how they outperform classical counterparts. Finally, the course wraps up with Shor’s algorithm and Quantum Fourier Transform, preparing you to apply quantum computing in real-world problem-solving scenarios. By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped to navigate the future of quantum technologies and contribute to cutting-edge research or applications. This course is aimed at professionals and students with a foundational knowledge of linear algebra and classical computing. Experience with Python is recommended, as Qiskit relies heavily on Python programming.
In this module, we will introduce the fundamental concepts of Qiskit, including classical and quantum gates, and build your first quantum circuit. You will also learn how to simulate your circuits and run them on a real quantum computer using IBM’s quantum platform.
