Quality 4/5Difficulty 2/5

Prof. Tannu helped me understand the basics of quantum computing and what it really means to do computer science research in this space. I enjoy talking to him after the class and getting a sense of high-level ideas. The homework so far is interesting and hands-on; this course is good if you are intrested in basics of quantum computing.
