Lecture 001 - Unphysical Numbers

Physical Number: numbers for counting ($O(n)$) Unphysical Number: numbers of possibilities ($O(2^n)$)

The only difference between classical computing and quantum computing (Q.C.) is "Rotate-Compute-Rotate"

Contrary to myth, quantum computers are not known to be able to solve efficiently the very hard class called NP-complete problems.

There are two good Q.C. courses on Youtube:

1. Quantum Mechanics & Quantum Computation - Umesh Vazirani - Coursera 2012
2. Quantum Computing (Vazirani)
3. RyanODonnellTeaching
