Dive into quantum computing, starting with essential mathematics like probability, statistics, matrices, and linear transformations. You’ll explore classical and quantum computers, learning key concepts such as qubits, entanglement, and superposition. The course then introduces Qiskit, a powerful tool for quantum programming, guiding you through creating and running quantum algorithms on real quantum computers.
You will gain expertise in quantum computing algorithms like Bernstein-Vazirani, Deutsch, Grover’s, and Shor’s. Additionally, you’ll learn about quantum teleportation and apply your knowledge through hands-on Python and Qiskit exercises. The course concludes with projects that allow you to run algorithms on real quantum hardware.
Designed for beginners, this course doesn’t require prior quantum computing experience, though basic programming and mathematics knowledge is helpful. It’s ideal for those seeking to understand quantum computing and solve real-world problems with Qiskit.
Praktisches Lernprojekt
The included projects focus on implementing quantum algorithms using Qiskit to solve real-world problems like search optimization and cryptography. Learners will apply their skills to design, simulate, and run quantum circuits on actual quantum computers, reinforcing their understanding of practical quantum computing.
