Sponsored by Hopkins Lifelong Learning & Advanced Academic Programs
Quantum computation is one of the most exciting developments in the last decade to come out of the intersection of engineering, pure mathematics and quantum mechanics. This class will introduce participants to this exciting and rapidly developing field. The first hour will give an introduction to the necessary theory needed to understand quantum computation. The second hour will discuss the actual engineering problems involved with programming the real IBM Q5 Tenerifee Computer. No previous knowledge or experience with quantum computing is needed.
John Hessler lectures on Quantum Mechanics and Computing, the Theory of Relativity, and Quantum Field Theory in the Odyssey Program of the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences at Johns Hopkins University. He is the author of more than one hundred books and articles, a specialist in Computation and Geographic Information Science at the Library of Congress and the founder of the Topology Lab for the study of the Foundation of Quantum Computing.Learn more about Odyssey here!
