• Abstract: This is the text for a one quarter or one semester undergraduate course on quantum computing that has been given at the University of California Santa Cruz. It is intended for students in the physical sciences who have already studied linear algebra (though a review of this topic is given in the course). No prior knowledge of quantum mechanics is required. The most important topics covered are Shor's algorithm and an introduction to quantum error correction. Most of the text is a build-up to these topics.

  These lecture notes focus on quantum algorithms closely related to scientific computation, and in particular, matrix. The main purpose of the lecture notes is to introduce quantum phase estimation (QPE) and post-QPE'' methods such as block encoding, quantum signal processing, and quantum singular value transformation. The intended audience is the broad computational science and engineering (CSE) community interested in using fault-tolerant quantum computers to solve challenging scientific computing problems.
