Course details

Suggested prerequisites

  • Although not required, it will help if you already have a basic understanding of linear algebra and Python programming before beginning this course.

Projects

  • Create a new quantum circuit with one qubit and one classical bit, simulate a measurement on that circuit, and display results.
  • Create a quantum circuit with four qubits and set their states to represent a specific binary value.
  • Create a two-qubit random number generator with a nonuniform probability distribution.
  • Create a circuit that mimics the behavior of a classical two-bit adder.
  • Create a circuit to entangle three qubits in the GHZ state.
  • Create a circuit that implements the quantum teleportation protocol and then run it on a real quantum computer.

In this course, engineers Barron and Olivia Stone guide you through how to write quantum computing programs from a developer’s perspective. Learn about qubits, quantum logic gates and circuits, running quantum programs with Qiskit, two common quantum algorithms, and more. This course is integrated with GitHub Codespaces, an instant cloud developer environment that offers all the functionality of your favorite IDE without the need for any local machine setup.

    A very didactic way to learn a very complex and fascinating subject. Olivia and Barron did an excellent way to illuminate a very contra-intuitive universe of quantum computing. I recommend the course. Take it slowly and repeat the chapters to better understanding.

    Barron and Olivia are very engaging and clear. They transform a relatively difficult subject to something very easy to understand. One of the best courses for those wanting to learn about this new technology. Examples given with Qiskit are spot on.
