Introduction to Quantum Algorithms by Ronald de Wolf

Introductory Talk of Ronald de Wolf (CWI and University of Amsterdam) at the first DPG Fall Meeting at University Freiburg. This talk will give an introduction to quantum algorithms, which are the core of the "software" of quantum computers. We will go into algorithms relevant for cryptography (such as Shor's factoring algorithm) and for optimization tasks (such as Grover search and the HHL algorithm). We will also briefly look at known limitations of quantum computers. Further informations are available at: https://freiburg19.dpg-tagungen.de/
