Applications of Quantum Computing
About this course
The course explains the fundamentals of quantum computing, covering how quantum bits differ from classical bits and the basic principles of superposition and entanglement. It walks through several key quantum algorithms and contrasts their operation with classical approaches, then examines concrete use cases in chemistry, optimization, and cryptography. Material is presented through lectures and short problem sets that let learners apply the concepts to simple examples. By the end you’ll understand the core ideas that underlie current quantum‑computing research and industry projects.
