SCMP151 Introduction to Quantum Computing (Jul 2024)

This course will provide an introduction to the theory, formalisms and algorithms of quantum computing.  The programming language will be Python; experience with Python will be assumed.  Experience with quantum mechanics is not necessary; an introductory-level understanding of linear algebra will be assumed.

This will be an in-person course, July 8 - 12, 12:00 - 3:00pm.

This course has been cancelled due to lack of attendance.

Teachers: Marcelo Ponce, Erik Spence
