Description

In the first lecture I will talk about the history of quantum theory and the theoretical development of quantum computation. I will talk about superposition and entanglement, important concepts to understand the power of quantum computing. The different algorithms that are available for a quantum computer, such as searching algorithm and factoring algorithm, will be discussed as well as quantum cryptography that help us to share secrets when we cannot use RSA, the traditional crypto system used today that quantum computers can break.
