CSE 2371
Transcript Abbreviation:
Quant Circ & Algo
Course Description:
Designed to provide students with a broad introduction to quantum computing, the future of computing. Using tools such as QBraid, students from diverse backgrounds will visualize quantum computing concepts and compare them with classical computing models. This will enable the comparison of quantum algorithms and their advantages over corresponding classical algorithms.
