Quantum information science (QIS) has the long-term potential to revolutionize computing, networking, sensing, and timing. From an assumed familiarity with linear algebra, this tutorial will begin with the surprisingly few aspects of quantum mechanics necessary to discuss the concepts of qubits ("quantum bits"), quantum gates, and quantum circuits. Simple quantum algorithms will be developed and demonstrated on cloud-accessible IBM quantum computing hardware. Additional discussion will include: Requirements for physical qubit implementations and tradeoffs among leading technologies; Photon-based qubits, quantum entanglement, communication and quantum key distribution (QKD); Computational and complexity theory as they pertain to quantum computing; Novel sensing and timing devices for both terrestrial and space applications; Non-traditional physics-based methods addressing RF signal measurement limitations; and Extend beyond the foundations of Quantum Science and explore the demonstration and practical utility of Quantum Enabling Technology.
