This module covers the foundational principles and techniques of quantum technology, including topics such as basic quantum mechanics; quantum information theory and quantum algorithms such as Grover's search and Shor's factoring; quantum error-correcting codes; and quantum computing applications such as quantum encryption and quantum key distribution. We will explore and discuss real world scenarios related to the understanding of quantum technologies, the participants will understand the opportunities and challenges presented by quantum technology, and will have a hands-on experience with quantum computers and algorithms using IBM Q Experience quantum devices.
