- Abstract: These are the lecture notes of the master's course "Quantum Computing",
taught at Chalmers University of Technology every fall since 2020, with
participation of students from RWTH Aachen and Delft University of Technology.
The aim of this course is to provide a theoretical overview of quantum
computing, excluding specific hardware implementations. Topics covered in these
notes include quantum algorithms (such as Grover's algorithm, the quantum
Fourier transform, phase estimation, and Shor's algorithm), variational quantum
algorithms that utilise an interplay between classical and quantum computers
[such as the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) and the quantum approximate
optimisation algorithm (QAOA), among others], quantum error correction, various
versions of quantum computing (such as measurement-based quantum computation,
adiabatic quantum computation, and the continuous-variable approach to quantum
information), the intersection of quantum computing and machine learning, and
quantum complexity theory. Lectures on these topics are compiled into 12
chapters, most of which contain a few suggested exercises at the end, and
interspersed with four tutorials, which provide practical exercises as well as
further details. At Chalmers, the course is taught in seven weeks, with three
two-hour lectures or tutorials per week. It is recommended that the students
taking the course have some previous experience with quantum physics, but not
strictly necessary.
