This course is part of a three-course series that provides an introduction to the theory and practice of quantum computation. This second course builds on the foundational introduction provided in the first course, 8.370.1x, and explores simple quantum protocols and algorithms, including:

  • Quantum teleportation and superdense coding
  • The Deutsch-Jozsa and Simon's algorithms
  • Grover's quantum search algorithm
  • Shor's quantum factoring algorithm

This course will help you understand what quantum computers can do and how they work. You'll learn how you can contribute to discovering new things and solving problems in quantum information science and engineering.
The complete three-course series includes:

  • 8.370.1x: Foundations of quantum and classical computing – quantum mechanics, reversible computation, and quantum measurement
  • 8.370.2x: Simple quantum protocols and algorithms – teleportation and superdense coding, the Deutsch-Jozsa and Simon’s algorithm, Grover’s quantum search algorithm, and Shor’s quantum factoring algorithm
  • 8.370.3x: Foundations of quantum communication – noise and quantum channels, and quantum key distribution

Advanced Algorithmics and Graph Theory with Python (edX)

CS: Software Engineering CS: Theory

Strengthen your skills in algorithmics and graph theory, and gain experience in programming in Python along the way. Algorithmics and programming are fundamental skills for engineering students, data scientists and analysts, computer hobbyists or developers. Learning how to program algorithms can be tedious if you aren’t given an opportunity to immediately practice what you learn. In this course, you won't just focus on theory or study a simple catalog of methods, procedures, and concepts. Instead, you’ll be given a challenge wherein you'll be asked to beat an algorithm we’ve written for you by coming up with your own clever solution.
