Introduction to Quantum Computing: Qubits, Gates, and Algorithms

Quantum computers are fundamentally different from conventional computers. They promise to address problems that are practically prohibitive and even impossible to solve using today’s supercomputers. The challenge is building one that is large enough to be useful. In this short course, we will introduce quantum computing with a focus on the qubit modalities, single-qubit and two-qubit gates, and their use in quantum algorithms and error mitigation.
