# [COMP 458: Quantum Computing Algorithms 🧬](https://micahkepe.com/comp458-notes/)
Personal course notes from COMP 458: Quantum Computing Algorithms (Spring 25).
The latest version of the notes can be found [here](https://micahkepe.com/comp458-notes/).
This repository is meant as an educational resource and collaboration space
for reinforcing the concepts learned in the course. The notes are written fully
in LaTeX.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> These notes are a work-in-progress and are being updated as I progress through
> the course. If you find any errors or have any suggestions for improvement,
> feel free to open an issue or a pull request.
> [!NOTE]
> Personally, I compile the `*.tex` using the VimTeX plugin for Vim/Neovim, but
> you can use any LaTeX editor of your choice. The notes are written in a way that
> they can be easily compiled using any LaTeX editor and viewer. See the section
> [below](#compiling-the-latex-with-vimtex) for instructions on how to compile the
> LaTeX files using VimTeX.

## Compilation
### Compiling the LaTeX with VimTex
Instructions
1. Clone the repository:
```code
git clone https://github.com/micahkepe/comp458-notes.git
cd comp458-notes
```
2. Open the `main.tex` file in Vim or Neovim:
```
nvim main.tex
```
3. Ensure that you have the [`VimTeX`](https://github.com/lervag/vimtex) plugin
installed. This will be used to compile the LaTeX files and preview the
PDF in real-time in a PDF viewer of your choice (I use `sioyek`).
4. Compile the LaTeX file by running the following command in Vim:
```
:VimTexCompile
```
5. Preview the compiled PDF:
```
:VimTexView
```
If you have any issues with the compilation, feel free to open an issue or
reach out to me directly.
