Introduction to Quantum Computing for Everyone 2 (edX)

Offered by University of Chicago, UChicagoX,
Introduction to Quantum Computing for Everyone 2 (edX)

This course focuses on the mathematics, programming, operations, and algorithms of quantum computing. A follow-on to Intro to QC for Everyone 1, this course delves deeper into the mathematical basis for quantum computing and the programming that makes it a reality. Students will be taught all of the mathematical concepts they need to know, build up confidence and experience with individual and small groups of operations, then learn a sequence of important algorithms.

Machine learning is the science of getting computers to act without being explicitly programmed. In the past decade, machine learning has given us self-driving cars, practical speech recognition, effective web search, and a vastly improved understanding of the human genome. Machine learning is so pervasive today that you probably use it dozens of times a day without knowing it. Many researchers also think it is the best way to make progress towards human-level AI. In this class, you will learn about the most effective machine learning techniques, and gain practice implementing them and getting them to work for yourself. More importantly, you'll learn about not only the theoretical underpinnings of learning, but also gain the practical know-how needed to quickly and powerfully apply these techniques to new problems.

Sci: Physical & Earth Sciences Sci: Physics

Before the advent of quantum mechanics in the early 20th century, most scientists believed that it should be possible to predict the behavior of any object in the universe simply by understanding the behavior of its constituent parts. For instance, if one could write down the equations of motion for every atom in a system, it should be possible to solve those equations (with the aid of a sufficiently large computing device) and make accurate predictions about that system’s future.
