Quantum Information and Computing

The course introduces the basics of the quantum paradigm and its application to quantum computing. The student will discover main differences between the classical and quantum paradigm of computation, consolidating knowledge both in the suitable mathematical framework and by designing quantum software.

The student will be able to understand the foundations of quantum computing and the motivations for its introduction in the classical computing realm. She/He will acquire the ability to understand and use main techniques for the design and analysis of quantum algorithms, presented by investigating some paradigmatic examples. She/He will also be able to deep more advanced topics, as well as provide a software implementation of quantum algorithms.
