Chennai: IIT Madras, in partnership with IBM Research and IBM Systems, is offering a 4-week free online course called “Introduction to Quantum Computing: Quantum Algorithms and Qiskit”. The course will provide introduction to Quantum Computation, starting with basic concepts such as superposition and entanglement, to discussing the quantum circuit model of computation and basic Quantum algorithms that demonstrate the power of computing with quantum bits. IBM has made significant investment in quantum computing and is recognized as a leader in this space.
What the IIT Madras and IBM Free Online Course on Quantum Computing Will Cover?
The course will offer hands-on sessions for each concept taught using Qiskit, a pythonic way of programming and the IBM Circuit Composer. Some of the topics that will be covered are as follows:
- Introduction and IBM quantum perspective, Q mission in India: Invited talk, quantum computing applications, and quantum computing basics.
- IBM quantum composer and quantum lab using Qiskit.
- Quantum algorithms-I (Oracles, Deustch Jozsa), Quantum Algorithms-II (Grover’s Algorithm with Hands-on).
- Quantum error correction: Invited Talk, NISQ era Quantum Algorithms (VQE/QAOA and industrial applications).
