S13566: Topics in Quantum Computing in Splash 2019 (Nov. 23 - 24, 2019)
What are the limits to your everyday computer and how can we break those limits? Some problems that can't be solved in the lifetime of the universe on classical computers can be done in seconds on quantum computers. This class is meant to be a collection of different topics and interesting problems, without going too deeply into the mathematics.


S13568: Quantum Computation in Splash 2019 (Nov. 23 - 24, 2019)
Want to find out how quantum computers work? Quantum computers can solve problems quickly that a classical computer couldn't do in the lifetime of the universe. We will go over the basics of several quantum algorithms, techniques for actually building a quantum computer, and what the future has in store for the field. This course has a larger focus on math than "Topics in Quantum Computing."
