1 The pace of this course
I'm trying to keep things relaxed. I introduce you to fun stuff that you can pursue on your own.
Is this pace reasonable?
Do you want deeper math?
Do you want required readings/viewings before class?
(Everyone's camera is off but for mine.) Do you want me to require you to enable your cameras, and then I call on you with questions?
2 General
The WIRED Guide to Quantum Computing Nice non-too-technical summary of the history. The theory preceded the realization. This happens sometimes, e.g., with atomic energy.
3 IBM Application

4 HHL algorithm to solve a linear system of equations
-
Quantum Machine Learning - 37 - Overview of the HHL Algorithm 5:48.
quick, deep, intro.
-
Quantum algorithm for solving linear equations 36:31.
quite understandable. We'll watch some.
-
Quantum Algorithms for Systems of Linear Equations (Quantum Summer Symposium 2020) 19:22.
watch this if you wish.
-
IBM Quantum Algorithms for Applications from qiskit
Run through the fourier transform and HHL on your own.

5 Microsoft quantum computing
-
They offer a cloud service on 3 platforms: Honeywell, IonQ, QCI.
-
A lot of stuff, with a low S/N.
-
Azure Quantum Developer Workshop. 5:05:25.
This is a little diffuse; watch on your own if you wish.
