A quantum computer is a next-generation computer that operates on principles entirely different from those of conventional
computers. In recent years, the potential of quantum computers to overcome challenges that were previously difficult to solve
has garnered significant attention, leading to rapid research and development both domestically and internationally. Particularly
in the industrial sector, there is a growing demand for professionals who can drive the next wave of technological innovation,
and engineers with knowledge and skills in quantum computing are becoming increasingly important.
This lecture will start with the principles underlying quantum computers and provide a clear and accessible introduction to the fundamentals of quantum computing. Additionally, the lecture covers quantum hardware and quantum error correction. This lecture helps students develop the foundational skills necessary to utilize quantum computers in the future.
