### title

QUANTUM ALGORITHMS AND ERROR CORRECTION

### description

Dive into the quantum computing stack by starting with real-world applications and progressing through the essential components needed for fault-tolerant quantum computers. Learn about key areas such as quantum algorithms, and advanced quantum error correction. Explore algorithms for scientific applications, including quantum phase estimation and the HHL algorithm, and examine the derivation, trade-offs, and implementation of sophisticated error correction techniques. Learn to analyze and estimate the full-stack quantum resources required for novel quantum algorithms by utilizing classical computational tools, in order to develop and evaluate scalable, high-utility quantum computing solutions.
