Description
A general introduction to quantum computing: what is quantum computing anwyay ? Once we build a quantum computer what can we do with it ? The talk will give an high level overview of the following topics:
- example of quantum mechanical effects
- what are qubits and quantum gates and what makes this so different from classical computing ? example of two techniques known as dense coding and quantum teleportation (teleporting a quantum state)
- what's this thing about quantum paralellism ? example from a simple algorithm
- high level overview of Shor's factoring algorithm and Grover's search algorithm. Once a quantum computer is implemented factoring RSA keys becomes easy.
- quantum key exchange. Exchaning keys securely using quantum mechanical effects.
- types of quantum computer 'implementations' in labs
- current status
