QISC 570 - Algorithms and Applications of Quantum Computing

(3 semester hours)
Prerequisites: Graduate Standing and QISC 550
Description: This course focuses the student on the application of quantum computing on solving and simulating various natural, real-world problems that are impossible to solve using traditional computers. Several complex, but quantum-solved, algorithms will be explored in their raw and in their quantum-program-coded forms, e.g, RSA encryption-breaking and the traveling-salesman problem. Throughout the course, the student will be applying their quantum computer programming skills to modeling and solving complex problems that they conceive, code, and debug.
