Short description of the content: The goal of the course is to provide a basic understanding of QuBits, Entanglement, and their usage in mathematical algorithms. This knowledge will be leveraged to introduce a series of Quantum algorithms from both a theoretical as well as a hand-on approach, which is supported a series of theoretical and programming-based exercises . Familiarity with quantum mechanics is not necessary, but certainly helpful. Any quantum SDK, such as Qiskit, Cirq, Forest, Q#, may be used during the course, based on agreement at the beginning of the semester.
