What you'll learn

Quantum computing algorithms can solve problems in seconds that would take millions of years on classical computers. Mark describes the kinds of problems that quantum computing accelerates, then introduces quantum physics, the qubits that are the foundation for quantum computing, quantum gates, and then algorithms. He uses the Microsoft Quantum Development Kit with its Q# language and simulator to demonstrate concepts and show that even though scalable quantum computers are several years away, quantum-inspired algorithms are solving problems more efficiently today.
