CMPE 456 | Introduction To Quantum Computing 2627F | İrfan Onat TAKAK

Explore the foundations of quantum computing and how it differs from classical computing. This introductory lecture explains qubits, superposition, entanglement, and quantum measurement, then introduces quantum gates and simple circuits. We’ll discuss potential applications in cryptography, chemistry, and optimization, alongside the challenges and limitations of today’s quantum computers. No prior knowledge of quantum mechanics is required.
