Notes from the edX (BerkleyX) online course CS191x (2013). Week 1 covers double-slit experiment, geometric representation of Qubits and Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Week 2 covers axioms of QM, Entanglement and Bell's inequalities. Week 3 covers Quantum gates and Quantum Teleportation protocol. Week 4 covers Quantum Circuit realization and early Quantum algorithm: Fourier sampling, Simon's alg. Week 5 covers Midterm exam. Week 6 covers Quantum Fourier transform, Period finding problem and Shor's factoring algorithm. Week 7 covers Quantum search in an unstructured database, Observables and discrete-value Schrodinger's equation. Week 8 covers toy model for an atom (particle in a box), Schrodinger's equation of 1-D particle in a box, Quantum Complexity theory. Week 9 covers spin Qubit, Bloch Sphere representation, Stern-Gerlach experiment, Pauli Spin matrices, Larmor Precession, Spin resonance method and classical control of a Quantum computer.
