CSE 439LEC - Quantum Computation through Linear Algebra


This course covers both introductory numerical linear algebra and quantum algorithms, which are phrased in linear algebraic terms. The course provides a mathematical foundation for subsequent study in Quantum Computing, and covers several quantum algorithms in depth, including Deutsch’s Algorithm, the Deutsch-Jozsa Algorithm, and Grover’s Algorithm. Students will also cover linear operators and matrix representations, operator norms, orthogonalization, the SVD and QR factorizations.
