Quantum computing and algorithms (I)
This lecture aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of quantum computing’s principles, its applications and its potential impact. What can we achieve with quantum computation?

What are the advantages that a quantum computer might offer over classical computing?

How is a quantum computer different?

I will introduce the fundamental concepts of qubits, superposition and entanglement as well as the quantum circuit model, including quantum gates and circuits. Additionally, I will discuss the development of quantum algorithms and their applications, starting from the simpler examples and their practical implementation to foundational quantum algorithms for which there is a provable quantum speedup, such as Shor’s Factoring Algorithm, Grover’s Search Algorithm.

Quantum computing and algorithms (II)
This lecture intends to provide a grasp of how advanced quantum algorithms work and an introduction of the current phase of quantum computing, usually denoted as the noisy intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) era. I will explore the potential of quantum algorithms specifically developed to be run on current quantum computing hardware, focusing on their potential to solve real-world problems and perform tasks that are challenging for classical computers.
