This week’s ed series, the final one of the quarter, is a big one. We’re going to get at the heart of the question we’ve been teasing all quarter: we’ll be talking all about the premise, goal, and model of quantum computing. 

Some questions we aim to answer:

- What could quantum computing do?

- How do we do it?

- How does it compare to classical computing?

- Where does the computational power of QC come from?

Plus, we’re going to get into some real mathematical rigor (don’t be scared–there are no tests or p-sets, this is just learning for learning’s sake. If you don’t understand it, that’s okay!) Review the lin-alg primer (attached below). We’re also going to talk about the direction the ed series is going to go in next quarter, now that we’ve covered the basics and are ready to get into some of the real nitty-gritty. This is the most important lecture of the quarter. 

You are superstars for coming to these lectures. You’re all doing so well! Don’t lose steam now!
