An Introduction to Quantum Computing
Type: Class Notes or Presentation
Outline: Basic Principles of Quantum Mechanics Explanation of qubits vs. classical bits. Concepts of superposition, entanglement, and quantum states. How Quantum Computing Works Differences from classical computing: exponential speed-ups and unique problem-solving approaches. Gate-based quantum computing and quantum algorithms (e.g., Shor's and Grover's algorithms). Potential Applications of Quantum Computing Real-world examples in cryptography, drug discovery, and materials science. Challenges and Limitations Technological challenges, like qubit coherence, error correction, and quantum decoherence. Ongoing efforts in building fault-tolerant quantum systems. The Future of Quantum Computing Predictions for when quantum computing might become widely accessible. Current projects by tech giants (IBM, Google).
