Quantum Algorithm Lecture, Winter 2026

Course Details

This course covers recent developments in quantum algorithms, with a particular focus on decoded quantum interferometry (DQI). Over the eight-week lecture series, the primary goal is to develop a clear and rigorous mathematical understanding of DQI. Depending on the level of engagement and comprehension of the participants, additional topics such as out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOCs) may also be introduced, and opportunities for research projects will be offered.

Prerequisites: Participants are expected to have a solid background in theoretical computer science and quantum information, with a strong understanding of Shor’s algorithm and Grover’s algorithm.
