Helpful Websites

This section provides a few helpful websites to learn more about quantum computing. These websites can be used to explore new algorithms and tricks that are not covered in this text and get help on stuck problems.

Error Correction Zoo

In the world of quantum computing, error correction is an important part of the study since the current quantum computers are considerably erroneous. Error Correction Zoo provides a handful of error correction techniques in both classical and quantum settings. It also provides references to the papers, so a curious reader can easily dive into the details.

QAgora

QAgora is a collection of zoos related to quantum computing and quantum technology. Currently, only quantum protocol zoo is active, which lists and explains possible usages of quantum networks. It is preparing for different zoos such quantum programming language zoo and benchmarking zoo. One unique feature of this website is the interactive knowledge graph, which allows readers to pick where to start before reading challenging topics.

Quantiki

Quantiki is a great resource for quantum information science enthusiasts and researchers. It mainly features a list of quantum circuit simulators and academic job postings. This portal also serves as an international community of quantum information science, so it also lists numerous research groups from all around the globe.

Quantum Algorithm Zoo

Quantum Algorithm Zoo is a handful collection of quantum algorithms, written by Dr. Stephen P. Jordan. It features four main categories of quantum algorithms:

  1. Algebraic and Number Theoretic Algorithms
  2. Oracular Algorithms
  3. Approximation and Simulation Algorithms
  4. Optimization, Numerics, and Machine Learning

You can compare the speedup, investigate what kind of problems that a quantum computer can handle, and refer to the original papers to deepen your understanding. The zoo also features the official French and Japanese translations.

Qubit Zoo

What distinguishes between a classical bit and a quantum bit (qubit) is how it encodes information. Qubits leverage principles of quantum systems to encode and process information. The key to implementing qubits and quantum computers is to create stable quantum systems and isolate them from the environment. Several methods are proposed, and Qubit Zoo lists them.

Stack Exchange

Stack Exchange is a classic Q&A website for multiple disciplines. Please make sure to read and follow the rules before posting. Especially, when asking a question on Stack Exchange, try your best to find answers from similar questions in prior, state your background, and explain what you do not understand.
