Overview
Following a brief introduction and discussion about how Quantum computing grew from a theory to a real-world method, the people responsible for it and the theories and key words behind it, this course introduces Quantum computing and the issues it may bring.
Quantum Computing is at the cutting edge of the digital world and the possibilities and applications are currently only limited by our imaginations. In a move away from what is quickly becoming known as ‘Classic Computing’, Quantum techniques allow for the simultaneous analysis of seemingly unlimited solutions to return the optimal way forward.
Current and possible applications will be explored as well as the social, moral, and economic impacts of Quantum Computing can be identified and considered.
Prerequisites
Some familiarity with existing architecture and computing techniques would be an advantage.
