Quantum Computing Foundations
Delve into the core concepts of quantum mechanics applied to computation: quantum bits (qubits), phenomena of superposition and entanglement, and the construction of quantum circuits using universal quantum gates (e.g., Hadamard, CNOT, Rx, Ry, Rz). Explore quantum measurement theory, the No- Cloning Theorem, and compare quantum complexity classes to classical ones. An overview of leading quantum hardware platforms, including superconducting qubits, trapped ions, and photonic systems, will also be covered.

Quantum Algorithms
Deep dive into cornerstone quantum algorithms such as Deutsch-Jozsa, Grover's search for unstructured databases, and Shor's algorithm for prime factorization. This module also introduces the quantum Fourier transform, quantum phase estimation, amplitude amplification, and the general principles behind designing quantum algorithms for specific problem sets. Practical implementations will be explored using quantum simulation tools.

Quantum Machine Learning Models
Discover the quantum counterparts of classical machine learning algorithms, including Quantum Support Vector Machines (QSVMs) for classification, Quantum Principal Component Analysis (QPCA) for dimensionality reduction, and Quantum K-Means Clustering. Gain an introduction to the theoretical foundations and practical applications of quantum neural networks (QNNs) and quantum kernel methods for pattern recognition

Variational Quantum Circuits
Explore hybrid quantum-classical algorithms, focusing on Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) for chemistry simulations and the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) for combinatorial optimization. This module emphasizes parameter optimization techniques in quantum circuits, discusses the challenge of barren plateaus, and examines the interplay between classical optimizers and quantum processors in these hybrid approaches.

Quantum AI Applications
Examine cutting-edge applications of quantum approaches across various AI subfields. This includes quantum-enhanced reinforcement learning for optimal decision-making, quantum natural language processing for semantic understanding, quantum generative models (e.g., QGANs) for data synthesis, and quantum computer vision techniques. The focus will be on how quantum computing can offer optimized solutions for complex, high-dimensional problems in these domains.

Future of Quantum AI
Gain insights into the evolving roadmap for quantum hardware development, including advancements in quantum error correction and fault-tolerant quantum computing. This module delves into the concept of quantum advantage for real-world AI applications, discusses the ethical and societal implications of powerful quantum AI systems, and surveys the current frontiers of research in quantum artificial intelligence.

Capstone Project
Students will undertake an intensive, hands-on quantum machine learning project. This involves designing, implementing, and rigorously evaluating a quantum machine learning algorithm (e.g., a QSVM for a specific dataset or a QAOA for a small optimization problem) to solve a predefined problem. The project culminates in a comprehensive technical report detailing the quantum circuit design, methodology, experimental results, and a critical comparative analysis of its performance against classical counterparts. Students will also provide an assessment of the current practical limitations and the potential for quantum advantage of their chosen approach.
