Overview
An 8-Hour Introduction to Quantum Computing from Dr. Chuck Easttom
Quantum computing is fast approaching a practical reality. QC impacts the future of computing as well as security issues. QC will render current asymmetric cryptographic methods insecure, and that requires QC-resistant algorithms. IT personnel and cybersecurity professionals must have at least a basic conceptual understanding of quantum computing. This video course
- Clearly explains core concepts, terminology, and techniques
- Covers the foundational physics, math, and information theory you need
- Provides hands-on practice with quantum programming
This is the perfect beginner’s guide for anyone interested in a quantum computing career.
Dr. Chuck Easttom brings together complete coverage of basic quantum computing concepts, terminology, and issues, along with key skills to get you started.
This dynamic video course draws on 30+ years of experience from Dr. Easttom as a computer science instructor, consultant, and researcher. Dr. Easttom demystifies the fields underlying technical concepts and math, shows how quantum computing systems are designed and built, explains their implications for cybersecurity, and previews advances in quantum-resistant cryptography. This video course is designed to clearly and simply introduce two of today’s leading quantum programming languages, Microsoft Q# and QASM, and guides you through sample projects. Throughout, tests, projects, and review questions help you deepen and apply your knowledge.
Whether you’re a student, professional, or manager, this video course will prepare you for the quantum computing revolution—and expand your career options, too.
