Elliptic Curve Cryptography and Quantum Computing: The Mathematics

Having presented the motivation to study Quantum Computing to crack Elliptic Curve Cryptography, in this second session (and succeeding sessions) we will give an introduction of what Quantum Computing is and the mathematics required to understand it:

• Complex Numbers
• Hilbert Spaces
• Bracket Notation
• Qubits
• Bloch Sphere (Reimann Sphere )
• Superposition
• Entanglement
• Measurement
• Probability Theory
• Eigenvectors
