Objectives

Programme
Detailed topics of the lectures
1. Introduction. Motivation. History of quantum computers.
2. Superposition, entanglement, pure and mixed states: key concepts.
3. Operating systems for quantum computers
4. Quantum programs in a Qiskit environment
5. Quantum programs in Q#
6. Quantum programs in Cirg environment
7. Quantum programming in Strawberry Fields: basics

Detailed topics for exercises/labs
1. Programming with visual tools: the IBM Quantum Composer
2. Running a program on the IBM quantum computer
3. Running a program in Azure Quantum environment
4. running a program in a Quantum Virtual Machine environment
5. implementing algorithms in a Strawberry Fields environment
6. Running a program on a photon-based quantum computer
7. End of semester summary. Presentation of homework.
In autumn 2019, quantum supremacy was first announced, meaning that a quantum computer could solve a problem that is practically unsolvable for conventional (classical) computers. Since then, newer and newer types of quantum computers have been appearing, for which software can be created in different programming environments. The aim of the course is to introduce students to different architectures of quantum computers and different programming environments. During the course, students will gain insight into the Qiskit development environment, the Q# language and Azure Quantum, Cirg, and Strawberry Fields. Students will be able to run the programs they write on real quantum computers.

General rules
Requirements: During the semester, students are required to write a mid-term exam worth 50 points. A homework assignment is also due during the semester (for an additional 50 points). The deadline for submission of the homework is the last class of the subject during the semester. The points accumulated will be used to determine the end-of-semester grade, with point limits of 40, 55, 70, 85. Additional possibilities: The mid term can retake during the retake week. The homework can be made up until the 4th day of the make-up week.
