Course description:
Quantum information is fundamentally different from the classical notion of information.
We will try to understand quantum information and design efficient quantum algorithms
for
problems that do not have known efficient algorithms in the classical setting. The course will
be taught at the level of senior undergraduate/beginner graduate.
