This weekly workshop will introduce quantum computing and quantum algorithms for a general audience. It will introduce the basics of quantum computation with an information theoretic motivation. With a quick review of the basics of quantum mechanics we move to quantum circuits as the  programming model for quantum computation. Over the course of the semester we cover multiple quantum algorithms beginning with foundational building blocks like phase estimation, QFT and amplitude amplification. Using these fundamental algorithms we will study algorithms like Grover's search, Shor's algorithm, VQE and QAOA.
