edXQuantum computing isn't science fiction—it's physics. This course demystifies the quantum principles underlying a fundamentally new type of computation, showing where quantum excels and where classical computers remain superior. You'll move from theory to implementation: writing quantum programs using quantum programming languages and solving problems with simple quantum operations.
The goal isn't to become a quantum physicist but to understand what's possible and what's hype. As quantum systems move from labs to commercial availability, professionals who grasp both the potential and the limitations will shape entire industries.
Describe the basic physics that enables quantum computing and how quantum computing will change businesses, governments, and society. ,Identify the problems quantum computing can, and can’t, solve well. ,Solve problems by combining simple one- and two-bit quantum operations. ,Implement quantum software by using quantum programming languages.
