MATH 4005 - Quantum Computing and Cryptography

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Mathematics

Description:

The intent of this course is to introduce quantum computing to a broad audience of computer scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and anyone with a general interest with a sufficient background in mathematics. A hands-on approach is taken throughout, and students will utilize freely available quantum computer developer tools to form a basic understanding of ideas. Topics discussed are the mathematical models of superposition, measurement, and entanglement and how these ideas coalesce to make quantum computing possible. Known quantum algorithms will be introduced as will their impact on current cryptosystems. Previous exposure to quantum mechanics is not required. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Explain the elementary quantum phenomena that render quantum technologies viable. 2. Contrast classical computing with new quantum computing approaches to problem solving. 3. Outline the potential benefits and key areas of application of quantum technologies and the challenges in attaining them. 4. Simulate basic quantum algorithms in the context of cryptography. Prerequisites: CS 1400 and either MATH 2250 or MATH 2270 (Both grade C or higher). SP (odd)
