The Introduction to Quantum Computing

Thanks for the course 《The Introduction to Quantum Computing》and professor Sergey S.Sysoev.

The course is very nicely filling the gap between layman literature on quantum computing and scientific articles, or in other words, it is a "bridge" from amazament by quantum computers and simple knowledge that they exist to possiblity to use them for solving practical problems.I appreciated "printed" materials which allowed me to follow the instructor's presentation easily.

Moreover, the instructor has apparently very good command in English and he explains even very intracate aspects of the quantum computing comprehensibly.

Overall, A resourceful course to enter the World of Quantum computing via proper mathematics rather than emphasising on the eye-catching quantum weirdness.

The quantum computing and quantum engineering is emerging field and there is need of more elaborated course with a recapitulation section of necessary background.

I can recommend this course to everyone who like to prepare for this exciting quantum computing future!

Toon Leijtens Very good initiation to quantum computing field Overall a very good course.

For me the best value of this course is that it got me started on quantum computing and moved me passed the initial mathematics pretty quickly so that I could get an appreciation for quantum computing without having to be an expert with the math and quantum mechanics itself.

I also agree with other reviewers concerning the last two weeks of the course and that the presentation could have been better.Nevertheless, I feel I have some momentum going with the subject and I hope to be able to go back to my textbook "Quantum Computing for Computer Scientist" and continue my studies.On a practical side I would also like to acknowledge that this course helped be to understand better the nature of problems that will lend themselves to being solved better with quantum algorithms and those for which classical algorithms are no worse.

All in all I consider this course as a Math refresher and a useful bootstrap module which allows to gently read and understand more advanced literature about quantum computing in particular and quantum physics in general.I'm giving this course only one star because I would quite strongly advice you against this lesson while the material for the last two weeks stays as is.

But it helped me guide as to what all I need to learn in order to move forward in the field I have gained a new perspective to look at computing, interesting algorithms to deal with NP-Cs and crazy ideas about storing and processing qubits Good course for the beginners, who want to dive into the mysterious world of quantum computing.

thankyou coursera & Sergey for his great effort...a big thumbs up Weeks 1, 2 and 3 are a great introduction to Quantum Computing!

Unfortunately, it is as if the instructor completely forgot that the only prerequisites listed for the course were complex numbers, and linear algebra.
