The course provides an introduction to the field of quantum computing. While very much a technology of the future, the course will examine some of the possibilities that the quantum world offers in advancing the capabilities of computers and how our notion of information has evolved. Topics covered include elements of Boolean algebra and classical logic gates, qubits and hypothesis of quantum mechanics, introduction to quantum algorithms, quantum teleportation and it application, quantum entanglemen, statistical and adiabatic quantum computation, physical realizations of logic quantum gates in quantum system.
