COSC 686 - Quantum Algorithms and Architectures

3 Credits

Quantum computation involves highly parallel systems devoted toward solving problems considered to be computationally difficult for classical computers. In this course, various quantum architectures and algorithms relevant to the theory of computation will be explored. Key results such as Grover’s algorithm, quantum phase estimation and Shor’s algorithm will be reviewed in order to provide context for the course. Quantum algorithms for solving linear equations and optimization problems will be introduced. Coding applications and current research involving quantum image processing and machine learning will be emphasized.
