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. No previous background in quantum mechanics is required.
Cross-listed with PHYS457. Credit only granted for CMSC457 or PHYS457. No previous background in quantum mechanics is required.
