S291: Introduction to Quantum Computing in Splash Spring 13 (Apr. 06, 2013)
This class will introduce you to the ideas of quantum computing, one of the hottest topics in modern physics. How do quantum computers work? How are they different from normal computers? Why are they interesting and what problems can they solve? We will cover the basic framework of quantum mechanics, quantum algorithms and quantum parallelism, and how researchers are building them out of atoms, diamonds and light.
