Overview

Welcome to the CSCI 4961: Introduction to Quantum Computing project! This open-source initiative is designed to provide a hands-on learning experience in quantum computing, equipping you with the skills necessary to excel in future industry and academic endeavors.

This repository contains course materials, including:

• Concepts: Step-by-step guides on the theory and practical implementation of quantum concepts.
• Algorithms: Real-world examples of quantum algorithms like Shor's and Grover’s algorithms.
• Applications: Exploring quantum solutions in fields such as cryptography, optimization, and machine learning.

We take a modular approach that combines theory with practical experiments using Jupyter notebooks and RPI's IBM Quantum System One, aiming to make participants quantum-proficient. Our goal is to expand these modules for future courses and projects at RPI.

By completing the modules in this repository, you will:

• Understand and apply the core principles of quantum computing.
• Gain hands-on experience using IBM Quantum System One.
• Write and execute quantum algorithms using Qiskit.
• Learn how to solve practical problems with quantum technology.

You can view the modules in the Documentation site.

Motivation

The emerging field of quantum computing offers the opportunity for new career paths, research, and collaboration. Contributing to these open-source modules facilitates the learning/review of quantum computing fundamentals while also enhancing technical skills suitable for industry. Participants will have the chance to utilize Qiskit, one of the highest performing quantum Software Development Kits (SDKs), and experiment with RPI's IBM Quantum System One, gaining a competitive edge in the field. Involvement in open-source also enables networking opportunities through collaboration and recognition/credibility as an open-source contributor.

Long Term Goals

1. Promote quantum computing in education and research
2. Implementation of additional modules
3. Categorize into course curriculum
4. Revision of modules based on course feedbacks/evaluations
