Undergraduate

Description

Students will develop an understanding of the most famous quantum algorithms, including Shor’s efficient quantum algorithm for integer factorisation and Grover’s search algorithm. Students will also be introduced to algorithms based on quantum walks, an analog of random walks, algorithms for simulating quantum systems, and quantum algorithms for solving systems of linear equations. Further applications of these algorithms to optimisation and machine learning will be discussed.

Typical availability

Autumn session, City campus
