CSYE 6305 — Introduction to Quantum Computing with Applications
4 semester hoursGraduateLectureusually offered: springtypical days: MOnlineOnline
Addresses how scientists and engineers can use quantum computers to simulate large quantum mechanical systems easily, which is crucial in discovery of new lifesaving drugs and new efficient materials. Quantum computers maintain an abstract state where both 0 and 1 states exist simultaneously with some probability. The course delves deeper into how such an abstract state can be realized physically and used as a computing tool to simplify algorithm implementation and execution. Offers students an opportunity to learn about the latest breakthroughs in cryptography systems (RSA), as well as fast database search; accurate weather forecasting; ultrasecure communication; and fast image recognition.
