Contents

From [MAT-59-14-K-6] Mathematics of Quantum Computing:
  • Qubits,
  • quantum gates and quantum circuits,
  • early algorithms (e.g. Deutsch-Jozsa and Bernstein-Vazirani),
  • exact algorithms (e.g. Simon's algorithm, Fourier Transformation, Shors method, Grover's Search, HHL),
  • hybrid heuristic methods (e.g. VQE and QAOA),
  • insight into error rates, error correction and complexity.

Competencies / intended learning achievements

Upon successful completion of this module, the students have gained an overview of the fundamentals and different models of quantum computing. They understand how quantum algorithms basically work. They know selected quantum algorithms and are able to critically assess their performance and their possible applications and compare them with classical methods. They understand how selected quantum algorithms work and are able to understand and explain them.

In the exercise classes they have developed a confident, precise and independent handling of the terms, statements and methods from the lecture. They have also learned to modify quantum algorithms and to apply them to other problems.
