6.1.1 Introduction to Module 6

Course subject(s) Module 6: Wrapping up The Building Blocks of a Quantum Computer Part 2

We have now come to the end of our ascent through the layers of the quantum stack, and to the end of our discussion about the development and applications of quantum networks. Along the way, you’ve had the opportunity to ask us many questions through the forums, and we hope that you’ve found the answers enlightening.

In this final module of the course, we’ve prepared videos to respond to three questions in our “Ask Me Anything” unit in Module 3. In these responses, Ben Criger will explain how to calculate the parameters of a surface code from the frequently-used diagrams we’ve seen so far,  how we can construct small quantum Fourier transforms and where you can find software libraries to study quantum computing.

This module ends with the final exam, where we re-cap the topics we’ve covered in the course. This is preceded by a practice exam, which you can use to refresh your knowledge before taking the final.

We hope you have enjoyed this treatment of quantum computers and quantum networks.
