Skills You Will Gain

Prerequisites/Requirements

We recommend that you be comfortable with exponents, vectors, sine waves and the basic concepts of probability

There are some equations, but we have endeavored to keep them as few and clear as possible

While the mathematics is not too hard, some concepts will be new to most learners, and require some mental stretching.

What You Will Learn

Describe a few key applications of quantum computing

Explain the role of quantum computing in the future and recognize the role of Moore's Law in the future of computing

Prepare for a mathematical course in quantum information concepts

Explore the value proposition in available and forthcoming quantum information technology products

Identify the importance of quantum superposition, entanglement and interference in quantum algorithms

Target Students

Anyone interested in quantum computing at the popular science level

High school students, college students, and computer professionals interested in developing a qualitative understanding of quantum computing in order to understand the future of computing
