With the end of the Moore’s law, it became imperative to find new principles for computing that can avoid the current physical limitations. Among the promising approaches is Quantum Computing which has resulted in substantial national investments in research and development in this area by many nations. This first tutorial is designed to target scientists, engineers and mathematicians who are interested in this rapidly growing field but have not yet invested enough time in learning about it. The tutorial will start by reviewing the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, mathematical description of quantum two level systems (qubits) with examples. It will proceed to cover quantum logic gates and circuit-based versus adiabatic quantum computing. In the afternoon, more time will be spent on the physical implementations of Quantum Computers focusing on the physical methods for realizing qubits. Topics will include quantum dots; spin qubits, transmon qubits and flux qubits. The D-Wave adiabatic quantum computer will be presented as a case study.
