Quantum Algorithms

CPSC 440/640, Course Information, Fall 2008


Office hours: Monday 11:15-12:15, Tuesday 11:00-noon
Instructor: Dr. Andreas Klappenecker

This course gives a self-contained introduction to quantum algorithms, one of the most exciting recent developments in computer science. We do not expect any background knowledge in quantum computing nor in quantum physics. You should know how to multiply a matrix with a vector, but the most important prerequisite is simply an open mind.

Quantum computing is not difficult, but simply different!

Textbook

Don't be fooled! Although the word quantum appears in the title of the course, this does not mean that you have to know quantum mechanics nor does it mean that the course will be particularly difficult. No prior introductory courses are needed.
