Introduction to the field of quantum computing with an emphasis on the design and implementation of quantum algorithms. Topics include the fundamentals of quantum information, computation, and seminal algorithms. Prerequisite: No prior knowledge of quantum physics is required, but a strong background in linear algebra (MATH 240 or equivalent) is recommended. Students with credit for CMPT 476, MACM 476, or MATH 776 may not take this course for further credit.
