Module overview

Harmonic analysis extends key ideas of Fourier analysis from Euclidean spaces to general topological groups. A fundamental goal is understanding algebras of functions on a group in terms of elementary functions. These correspond to the idea representing signals in terms of standing waves. The Quantum Fourier Transform is a fundamental ingredient in quantum computing algorithms and the module will also give an introduction to key ideas relating to quantum information.
