contents Quantum computing comes with the potential to push computational boundaries in various domains including, e.g., cryptography, simulation, optimization, and machine learning. Exploiting the principles of quantum mechanics, new algorithms can be developed with capabilities that are unprecedented by classical computers. However, the experimental realization of quantum devices is an active field of research with enormous open challenges, including robustness against noise and scalability. While systems and control theory plays a crucial role in tackling these challenges, the principles of quantum physics lead to a (perceived) high entry barrier for entering the field of quantum computing. This tutorial paper aims at lowering the barrier by introducing basic concepts required to understand and solve research problems in quantum systems. First, we introduce fundamentals of quantum algorithms, ranging from basic ingredients such as qubits and quantum logic gates to prominent examples and more advanced concepts, e.g., variational quantum algorithms. Next, we formalize some engineering questions for building quantum devices in the real world, which requires the careful manipulation of microscopic quantities obeying quantum effects. To this end for N-level systems, we introduce basic concepts of (bilinear) quantum systems and control theory including controllability, observability, and optimal control in a unified frame. Finally, we address the problem of noise in real-world quantum systems via robust quantum control, which relies on a set-membership uncertainty description frequently employed in control.
