DESCRIPTION:This is part of the short course 'Quantum Computing - Theory a
 nd Practice'\, "http://talks.cam.ac.uk/show/index/86491":http://talks.cam.
 ac.uk/show/index/86491\n\nThis course covers fundamental theoretical conce
 pts of quantum computation and quantum information will be covered. In add
 ition\, hands-on experimentation of quantum algorithms will be demonstrate
 d on actual quantum devices. Special consideration will be given to realiz
 ation of limitations of current\, non-fault tolerant quantum systems\, as 
 well as means to mitigate them when possible.\n\nSpecifically\, lecture 3 
 covers:\na. Quantum algorithms: Deutsch\, Deutsch Josza\, Simon's\, quantu
 m Fourier transform\, quantum phase estimation\, Grover's search algorithm
  \nb. Quantum noise and quantum operations: gate fidelities\, amplitude le
 ak\, phase decoherence\, algorithmic design considerations (Variational Qu
 antum Eigensolver example)\n\nThere will be a 15 minute break in the middl
 e of the lecture.\n\nIt is useful for students to have a laptop/tablet (or
  even a smartphone) for some of the more practical examples\, but this is 
 not necessary. Those without computer access can follow a demo shown by th
 e instructor.
