Description

This course is aimed a science and engineering students interested in pursuing careers in the broad field of Quantum Information Science and Engineering, which is an emerging field located at the intersection of mathematics, physics, and computer science. Emphasis will be put on understanding how inherently quantum phenomena like interference and entanglement can lead to faster and more secure information processing even in the presence of noise. The following topics will be covered: elements of quantum theory, qubits, quantum gated, measurements, entanglement, density matrices, quantum computation, quantum algorithms, quantum cryptography. This course serves as a pre-requisite for PHYS.4340L Introduction to Quantum Information Lab, which introduces the IBM quantum experience platform. Non-physics majors familiar with linear algebra and complex numbers are encouraged to contact the instructor to discuss enrollment.

Prerequisites

MATH.3810 Mathematical Physics , or PHYS.3810 Mathematical Physics I.
