Computation in a Quantum Computing Course

With the rapid rise in interest in quantum computing and quantum information science, many physics departments are now offering introductions to those fields for physics, computer science, and mathematics majors. For the foreseeable future, classical computing will play an important role in interacting with a quantum computer and in analyzing the results of quantum algorithms. In this talk, I will describe how classical computing and quantum computing worked synergistically in such a course for computer science, computer engineering, and mathematics majors at a major research university. The mode should work well in almost any undergraduate physics program.
