Introduction to Quantum Computing

Conclusion and test

In this lesson, you will review and demonstrate your knowledge of quantum computing.

IBM	Q Experience

1. Review

Here is a list of the topics presented in this introduction to Quantum Computing. You can look back at each lesson, and remind yourself of what you have learned.

Lesson	Topic	Main ideas
1	Why quantum: How big is a bit?	Digital computers use binary digits The volume of a binary digit has been shrinking The time when a binary digit will be as small as an atom may be in the next 10-20 years.
2	What is a qubit?	What atoms are made of Representing quantum particles like atoms with the Bloch sphere. How a qubit is constructed
3	Writing my first quantum score	Creating an account on the IBM Q Experience Using Composer Measuring qubit quantum states and their probabilities
4	Quantum gates	The Pauli X, Y and Z gates Combinations of gates on a single qubit
5	Superposition	The Hadamard gate Probability of output states Superposition for multiple qubits The simple Lisiecki program
6	Entanglement	The CNOT gate Grover’s selection algorithm
7	Project	Implementing your own quantum program Documenting the quantum score, output and programming intention
