The midterm will be:
  • held during class time
  • hosted on gradescope.com
The midterm will test knowledge and skills related to several subjects:
  • Inuition and explanations of core concepts like superposition, measurement, entanglement, and how they apply to quantum
  • Visual representation and their use in quantum operations
  • Mathematical notation and calculations for one- and two-qubit operations
  • Important building blocks such as phase kickback and rows of H gates
  • Algorithms (Bernstein Vazirani, Archimedes)

For the most part, the problems cover the same level of difficulty and sometimes the same question format as the practice problems and homework problems you have been completing. However, there will be some open-ended questions for you to explain things (which we cannot do on Studio).
