PHY 125 Quantum Information Science

An introduction to quantum computing that highlights how quantum mechanics enables quantum computers to perform calculations beyond the capabilities of classical computers, by exploiting phenomena like superposition and entanglement. The course covers fundamental concepts in both classical and quantum information theory, quantum algorithms (e.g., Shor's, Grover's), quantum hardware, and applications in areas like cryptography, simulation, and optimization, utilizing linear algebra and quantum simulators.
