Course Description

Quantum supremacy refers to quantum computers' projected capability to perform calculations that are beyond those of classical computers. The quantum computer's promise of a new era is often compared to the classic computer's. The quantum internet will enable the transmission of quantum information over long distances. This will make quantum computers a part of a "quantum information era". This technology would allow for many new applications such as secure access to quantum computers in cloud, unhackable communication, clock sync, and secure access to them.

How do quantum computers and quantum Internet work? These scientific principles explain how they work. What protocols and software are required for the quantum computer or quantum internet? These are the disciplines that require engineering and science.

This program will help you keep up with current developments in the transition towards a quantum information age. The program will start with a brief review of some basic concepts that will help you understand the operating principles and the quantum internet.

We will also discuss how large-scale quantum processors could be made using these qubits. We will also cover micro-architectures and compilers as well as programming languages. We will also cover the basics of quantum error correction, which is an important procedure that helps us combat errors caused by computations that use delicate qubits.

The program concludes with a discussion about the quantum internet: What is it? What is it? It is useful.

We encourage you to share your experiences, insights, and thoughts through the forum.
