We commence the mini course by establishing a foundational understanding of quantum computing, exploring key concepts such as qubits, quantum gates, superposition, measurement, and quantum entanglement. Building upon this groundwork, we delve into practical applications through two illustrative examples: Quantum Teleportation and the Deutsch-Jozsa Algorithm.
As we progress, our focus shifts to the realm of quantum cryptography. We unveil the pivotal BB84 protocol, a pioneering method for quantum key distribution that ensures unparalleled security.
