Learning outcomes
This course aims at introducing the basic concepts of Quantum Computing via the study of the physical phenomena characterising this paradigm with respect to the classical one. The course is articulated into three main parts: 1) the study of the quantum circuit model and its universality; 2) the study of the most important quantum techniques for the design of algorithms and their analysis; 3) the introduction of various quantum programming languages and of some of the existing quantum software platforms. it is expected that the students who attend the course, will be able at the end to autonomously undertake more specialised studies in the quantum research field of their choice.
