Understand the core principles and business implications of Quantum Computing while getting hands-on experience on potential applications using the IBM Q Experience. This course introduces learners to the history of quantum computing and its implications vs. classical computation, leading qubit modalities and applications of quantum computing, and quantum information. Learners will also put a simple quantum algorithm into practice using the IBM Q Experience in an assessment exercise.
- Describe one substantial difference between quantum and classical computation
- Assess at least one potential business application for quantum computation
- Understand engineering challenge currently faced by developers of real quantum computers
- Evaluate one key technology requirement for quantum computers to be able to function properly
- Become comfortable with the mathematical description of quantum states and basic quantum operations
