Content
This unit explores core quantum algorithms, focusing on their theoretical foundations, computational advantages, and implications for real-world applications. Students will analyse how these algorithms leverage quantum principles such as superposition, entanglement, and interference to achieve speedups over classical approaches. Through case studies and complexity analysis, students will gain insight into the power and limitations of quantum computation in solving problems beyond the reach of classical algorithms.
