    за обучение

The programme is designed for those computer scientists, engineers and programmers who believe that there's something else than just HLL programming, that will move our computing power further into infinity.

О программе

The programme consists of four courses, and each of them will guide learners into a specific area in the world of quantum computing.

In Course 1, we will build a simple working quantum computer with our bare hands, and consider some algorithms, designed for bigger quantum computers which are not yet developed.

In Course 2, we will consider the basic ideas of quantum informatics, as well as the physical laws and basic mathematical principles. Much attention is paid to such phenomena as quantum entanglement, quantum parallelism, and quantum interference. It is these phenomena that underlie most of the known quantum protocols and algorithms, which are devoted to individual sections of this course. In particular, we will learn about quantum teleportation, quantum algorithms, quantum error correction and other topics related to the quantum computations theory. 

In Course 3, we will concentrate more on how the mathematical model of quantum computing grows out from physics and experiment, while omitting most of the formulas (when possible) and rigorous proofs.

In Course 4, we will explore in detail the one-way quantum computing model. This model is one of the most promising in terms of practical implementation. You will understand what continuous-variable quantum computation is and how this type of computation differs from the usual computations with qubits. In addition, you will explore in detail the methods of quantum error correction that can be applied to all models of quantum computation. 

Формат

The programme is taught online and includes recorded lectures, tests, and additional materials.
