Summary:

About the School

No longer belonging to the ivory tower of scientists, noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computers available for public use have been successfully manufactured. Thanks to quantum superposition and quantum entanglement, quantum computing can be parallel at the bit level and exponentially speed up calculations, exploring the tremendous potential to revolutionalize almost every aspect of society. NISQ computer still has large errors with a small number of qubits and has not proved it quantum supremacy. Separated from commercialization with a few technical obstacles, the current stage of quantum computers is similar to classical computers in 1950.

What students will learn

Quantum computing is an interdisciplinary field combining math, physics, and computer science. In the first part of the course, students will focus on developing the necessary math, quantum physics, and coding skills in the programming language Python. The second part of the course will focus on coding quantum circuits and quantum algorithms, leading to students coding on a real quantum computer (IBM Quantum Computer).

Topics:

  • Mathematical and physical foundation for quantum computation
  • Quantum hardware overview
  • Introduction to quantum computation and algorithms
  • Practice on quantum programming and execution of actual quantum computers
  • Introduction to the hybrid quantum-classical algorithm (VQE)
  • Advanced topics: quantum machine learning and quantum chemistry
