SUMMARY:Introduction to Quantum Computing (2)
DESCRIPTION:\nWhen I was student\, I was interested in quantum optics: my
 first paper was about quantum non-linear optics. Quantum computing has
 become a new hype in telecommunication and computing. So I wanted to
 understand by myself how quantum computing works (thanks Wikipedia!).
 Starting with a reminder of quantum mechanics principles\, I will explain
 what is a "quantum computer"\, what are "qubits"\, "quantum registers"\,
 "quantum logical gates" and give some examples of "quantum algorithms" such
 as quantum "teleportation"\, Shor's algorithm for integer factorization and
 several other ones. I will also show how we can play with quantum computers
 (python libraries\, LaTeX packages\, web sites). In terms of knowledge
 requirement\, you just need to know a bit of linear algebra (calculation
 with square matrices on complex numbers) and accept the quantum physical
 rules as they are (maybe the most difficult aspect!): a quantum computer is
 just a system that processes unitary transformations on complex vectors
 (i.e.\, multiplications by unitary complex matrices)!\n\n\n\nThe material
 of the two sessions will be available
