A Webinar on Introductory Course on Quantum Computing

  • What is Quantum Computing ?

Quantum computing is a skill that is required to operate quantum computers. Quantum computers are quite complicated to use. But they are unique machines that use quantum mechanics to solve very complex problems. They are also faster than classical computers as they take advantage of quantum mechanical effects like superposition and quantum interference.
A Quantum Computer is a computer that exploits quantum mechanical phenomena. At small scales, physical matter exhibits properties of both particles and waves, and quantum computing leverages this behavior using specialized hardware.Quantum computing uses a microscopic object (e.g., electron, photon, ion) as the medium to store and transfer digital information. One-bit information (i.e., zero or one) can be encoded using two orthogonal states of a microscopic object. This quantum two-state system is called a quantum bit (or qubit).

Who can enroll this course?

Anyone student aspiring to reach the pinnacle of the STEM field will have to encounter quantum computers and computing at some point in their career. They will have to learn how to operate these machines. And students who already have some grasp of quantum computing are highly sought after by some of the top universities in the world. Although this program will be hosted by the SXPC, the course will not be limited to St. Xavier’s college. Students from other colleges will also be encouraged to join the course. The course organized by our physics council aims to provide an introduction to quantum computing to interested students. This program is mainly targeted at bachelors and masters level students. Since the subject matter is a bit tough for younger students to understand, we have decided to limit the course to students at this level.


Why should you enroll?

Quantum computers have the potential to revolutionize computation by making certain types of classically intractable problems solvable. While no quantum computer is yet sophisticated enough to carry out calculations that a classical computer can't, great progress is under way.Quantum computing technology has the potential to transform major sectors such as computing and communications and have a significant impact on everyday gadgets such as mobile phones, GPS, and more. This technology is also critical for strategic sectors such as defence and data security. Quantum computing is an excellent career, especially for those who enjoy working in physics, quantum theory, technology, or computers.

By the end of the course students will be understand the principles of quantum systems and how they change the foundations of information processing together with an overview of main applications. After the course, the students should be able to explain and disseminate the principles and start reading the literature in quantum information processing.

Course for quantum computing is quite a rare course for students. If the enthusiasm and demand for more course on the topic is high, then we will host more of these courses in the future. Hence this course is a great opportunity for those who want to build their strong career on Physics, Computer Science, and Technology.

Course Overview


  • Day 1
    Basic Quantum Mechanics, qubits, Single and two-qubit gates

  • Day 2
    Entanglement: Teleportation and Superdense Coding, Bell’s Inequalities, no- cloning, and Quantum Cryptography

  • Day 3
    Quantum algorithms: Deutsch’s and Grover’s Algorithm

  • Day 4
    Quantum Fourier transform and Shor’s algorithm

  • Day 5
    Outlook: Quantum error correction, Hardware platforms, and Black hole information loss paradoxes




The webinar is a five-day crash course on quantum computing. This course will provide an introduction to quantum computation from the beginning level. Students will learn about qubits, gates, entanglement, and some major quantum algorithms such as Grover’s and Shor’s algorithms. The course will end with high-level discussions about other interesting quantum information processing topics and various open questions in the field.

On the first two days of the program, the bare basics of quantum computing will be covered. Before delving into more complex part of the program we will have a preliminary evaluation. The 15 th of April falls on a Saturday and we will be using that to give the participants a set of tasks for them to complete.
