Abstract:
This research delves into the realm of quantum computing, aiming to understand foundational principles of Quantum Computing and its applicability in practical scenarios. The exploration is based on the four weeks IBM training course with a meticulously structured curriculum.
The journey commenced with an exploration of the mathematical underpinnings essential for quantum computing, laying a robust foundation for the subsequent modules. The focus then shifted towards the usage of IBM Q, a leading platform in the quantum computing industry. Hands-on activities include but not limited to constructing quantum gates and circuits, and implementing cutting-edge Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), a cutting-edge quantum algorithm.
This research initiative plays a pivotal role in making quantum computing education more accessible, by sharing researchers experience in navigating the evolving landscape of quantum computation confidently. Researchers gained expertise using quantum computing approaches to solve challenging problems through a mix of theoretical lectures, hands-on practice, and real-world problem-solving.
