Overview
Quantum Computing is the next wave in the Software Industry. Problems that are considered too complex and time consuming to be solved using classical computers can be solved using Quantum computers. There are already small sized quantum computers developed by various companies and it is just a matter of time quantum computers as desktops becomes a norm.
In this 3-day course, we will discuss the basic building blocks of quantum computers, quantum gates and how to write programs to create quantum circuits. This is not a course on quantum mechanics. We will build simple quantum circuits to see quantum entanglement and teleportation. We will look at some quantum algorithms that can find solutions way faster than normal computers. We will learn the algorithm and implement that algorithm in a quantum computer and will witness the exponential speed up.
Since the course is introductory, the only prerequisite is some understanding of programming (preferably Python) and high school mathematics
