About

During the course, you will learn more about: 

  • Important quantum algorithms such as Quantum Fourier transform, Phase estimation, and Shor's algorithm.
  • Variational quantum algorithms that utilise an interplay between classical and quantum computers, such as the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE), and the Quantum Approximate Optimisation algorithms (QAOA), among others.
  • The intersection of quantum computing and machine learning.

The course will also give the students practical experience of programming a quantum computer.
