Instructor:
This is an advanced graduate course on quantum algorithms for students with prior experience in quantum information. The course will cover algorithms that allow quantum computers to solve problems faster than classical computers. Topics will include the quantum circuit model, quantum algorithms for algebraic problems (computing discrete logarithms, the hidden subgroup problem, quantum algorithms for number fields), quantum search, quantum walk algorithms, quantum algorithms for simulating quantum mechanics, limitations on the power of quantum computers, and selected recent developments in quantum algorithms.
