Quantum Algorithms and Cryptography

Worth knowing: Lectures are free. The certificate is optional and needs a proctored exam that costs ₹1,000.

The course will cover the exciting impact on cryptography created by the advent of quantum computers. Quantum computers, which harness the power of quantum mechanics, have demonstrated surprising power over classical computers -- in particular, a famous algorithm by Shor demonstrates that most of modern cryptography, believed to be secure against classical computers, is completely insecure against quantum computers.
