Quantum Computing Fundamentals

About this course

The course introduces the basic elements of quantum computing, covering qubits, superposition, entanglement, and the construction of simple quantum circuits. It explains how quantum algorithms differ from classical ones, using examples such as the Deutsch‑Jozsa and Grover algorithms. Learners see the theoretical foundations alongside brief illustrations of potential applications in cryptography, optimization, and materials science. No prior quantum mechanics is required, but a comfort with linear algebra helps.
