To get started, you’ll need a foundation in an undergraduate linear algebra course, an undergraduate course in probability and a good undergraduate course in CS Theory, such as CMU’s “Great Theoretical Ideas in Computer Science” (15-251).

“Lecture Videos for Quantum Computation and Information” was a graduate course taught at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Fall 2018 by Ryan O’Donnell. The 25-lecture series covers the basics of quantum computing, with a little bit of quantum information theory at the end.
Some of the lecture topics include the following:
- Parallel Universes
- Rotate, Compute, Rotate
- Understanding and Measuring One Qubit
- Unitary Transformations and the Elitzur-Vaidman Bomb
- Discriminating Two Qubits
- Multi-Qubit Systems
- Multiplying by a Global Phase Doesn’t Make a Difference
- Partial Measurements and Spooky Action at a Distance
- The CHSH Game
- No Cloning Theorem and Quantum Teleportation
- Quantum Money
- Basics of Quantum Computing
- Quantum “Supremacy”
