Abstract

This is a course on the theory of quantum computing. It consists of 16 lessons, each with a video and written component, covering the basics of quantum information, quantum algorithms (including query algorithms, Shor's algorithm for integer factorization, and Grover's algorithm), the general formulation of quantum information (including density matrices, quantum channels, and general measurements), and quantum error correction (including the basics, the stabilizer formalism, CSS codes, the toric code, and fault-tolerant quantum computation).
