Harshdeep Singh: Quantum Computation with Python

Quantum Computation is all the hype right now in the research world, with its applications in various fields like data science, machine learning, finance, chemistry, optimization and many more. But before we can dive into the advanced and complex topics in quantum computation, we need to understand the basics. In this talk, Harshdeep presents the basics of quantum computation, starting from the description of qubits, and how quantum computation differs from the classical computation by considering the example of a coin toss and how that will differ in classical and quantum worlds. Harshdeep then discuss some other concepts from quantum mechanics that form the basis of the quantum computation in general, while using the Qiskit package in Python side by side to give this tutorial a more hands-on outlook.
