Introduction to Quantum Computing (CMSC457/PHYS457, Spring 2025)
Cross-listed with CMSC457. Credit only granted for: PHYS457 or CMSC457. Additional information: No previous background in quantum mechanics is required.
An introduction to the concept of a quantum computer, including algorithms that outperform classical computation and methods for performing quantum computation reliably in the presence of noise. As this is a multidisciplinary subject, the course will cover basic concepts in theoretical computer science and physics in addition to introducing core quantum computing topics.
