This document summarizes a lecture on quantum computing that introduces basic concepts like qubits, gates, and measures. It will cover important algorithms like Deutsch-Jozsa, Grover, and Shor. Applications discussed include quantum machine learning, chemistry simulations, and high energy physics problems. The focus is on practical implementation using simulators and actual quantum computers from IBM and D-Wave. No prior quantum physics knowledge is required, just a basic understanding of linear algebra. The speaker holds degrees in mathematics and computer science from the University of Oviedo and currently researches applying quantum computing to algebraic and machine learning problems at CERN.

General description of the course

Quantum computing is one the most promising new trends in information processing. In this course, we will introduce from scratch the basic
concepts of the quantum circuit model (qubits, gates and measures) and use them to study some of the most important quantum algorithms
and protocols, including those that can be implemented with a few qubits (BB84, quantum teleportation, superdense coding...) as well as those
that require multi-qubit systems (Deutsch-Jozsa, Grover, Shor..). We will also cover some of the most recent applications of quantum computing
in the fields of optimization and simulation (with special emphasis on the use of quantum annealing, the quantum approximate optimization
algorithm and the variational quantum eigensolver) and quantum machine learning (for instance, through the use of quantum support vector
machines and quantum variational classifiers). We will also give examples of how these techniques can be used in chemistry simulations and
high energy physics problems.

The focus of the course will be on the practical aspects of quantum computing and on the implementation of algorithms in quantum simulators
and actual quantum computers (as the ones available on the IBM Quantum Experience and D-Wave Leap). No previous knowledge of quantum
physics is required and, from the mathematical point of view, only a good command of basic linear algebra is assumed. Some familiarity with the
python programming language would be helpful, but is not required either.

Biography of the speaker

Elías F. Combarro holds degrees from the University of Oviedo (Spain) in both Mathematics (1997, award for second highest grades in the
country) and Computer Science (2002, award for highest grades in the country). After some research stays at the Novosibirsk State University
(Russia), he obtained a Ph.D. in Mathematics (Oviedo, 2001) with a dissertation on the properties of some computable predicates under the
supervision of Prof. Andrey Morozov. Since 2009, Elías F. Combarro has been an associate professor at the Computer Science Department of the
University of Oviedo. He has published more than 50 research papers in international journals on topics such as Computability Theory, Machine
Learning, Fuzzy Measures and Computational Algebra. His current research focuses on the application Quantum Computing to algebraic,
optimization and machine learning problems. From July 2020 he has been a Cooperation Associate at CERN openlab.
