DESCRIPTION:In this course\, you will learn the basics of modern quantum co
 mputing and gain exposure to software used to analyze and simulate quantum
  algorithms. Part 1 of the course will begin with an introduction to quant
 um gates and circuits after a brief refresher on quantum mechanics. We wil
 l then dive into modern quantum algorithms used in machine learning\, mole
 cular/material simulation\, and combinatorial optimization. By the end of 
 Part 1\, you will be able to construct and analyze quantum circuits. Furth
 ermore\, you will be able to translate example quantum algorithms into qua
 ntum circuits.\n\n4 PDH credits (0.4 CEU) are available\n\nThe second part
  of the course will focus on gaining hands-on experience with implementing
  quantum circuits and algorithms using IBM’s Qiskit API. Through Qiskit\
 , you will learn to construct\, simulate\, and analyze quantum circuits. T
 his will include a discussion of noisy emulators used to mimic hardware dy
 namics. The course will finish with a brief introduction to executing quan
 tum circuits on quantum hardware. By the end of Part 2\, you will be able 
 to leverage Qiskit to construct quantum algorithms and analyze their behav
 ior in simulated and experimental environments.\n\nFurther information is
