Launch, Certificate Program
Overview
In this boot camp, we will cover introductory sections from industry-standard texts. The material will cover basic quantum algorithms (Grover, Quantum Phase Estimation, Shor) and selected advanced topics (for example, Quantum State Preparation, Hamiltonian Simulation, Stabilizer/CCS codes).
There will be two ``mini-projects'' implementing both fundamental algorithms (for example, Grover's Search or Shor's algorithm) and current methods (for example, state-of-the-art quantum state preparation or error correction methods). You will have the option to select from a list of project ideas.
These will be announced at the beginning of the second and fifth weeks, and you will have three weeks to
submit your work.
The successful submission of these mini-projects is a requirement for the certificates of completion of the boot camp.

Textbook/Notes
Note: our video player does not support playback speed options. You can find a third party browser extension which will allow you to modify video playback speed. For example, this one works for Chrome: video-speed-controller. If you would prefer to avoid a browser extension you can manually modify the playback speed in the javascript console as well: Speed up any HTML5 video player!
