QUANTUM COMPUTING FOR SECURITY

Catalog description

This course introduces students to quantum security. Quantum security is a multidisciplinary field and intersects with computer science, mathematics, and physics. This course covers the theory to understand quantum computing and then presents and analyzes many of the most important algorithms that provide exponential speed up compared to their counterpart algorithms that execute on classical computers. Prerequisites: COMP2350 , MATH2100 , and MATH2860 (4 credits)
