A collection of papers I worked on studying Quantum Computing.
The the documents can be read in PDF form:
- More Quantum Algorithms Have Been Found. An overview of certain developments in quantum algorithms since two reference papers, by Shor (2003) and Aaronson (2008).
- Maximally Entagled Qubits and Some Applications. An overview of entanglement in the context Quantum Computing and applications to Quantum Teleportation and Superdense Coding. With a small code example of to entangle qubits and demonstrate Quantum Teleportation.
- The Quantum Fourier Transform and Phase Estimation (G. Watkins, E. Gabbassov). An introduction to two widely used building blocks of quantum algorithms.
- Exploring Quantum Error Correction with Surface Codes (G. Watkins, H. M. Nguyen, Miaoxing Wang, N. Tan, A. Nobakhtian). Here we motivate error correction with surface codes and give a taste of simple quantum circuits based on surface codes. There is a repo with some code.
- Introduction to Quantum Computing. A very concise summary of some main introductory concepts in quantum computing.
