Quantum Information II: Quantum Computation

Course #: PHYSIC 347

Description:
This course will cover fundamental concepts of Quantum Computation and Quantum Algorithms. The course will contain a broad overview of the main concepts and tools in quantum computation. The necessary notions in math, physics and information theory will be developed during the course. We will focus on the most fundamental elements necessary to perform quantum computation and show a survey of the existing quantum algorithms, the features they offer, and the challenges they face. The course will also cover how to use quantum technology for quantum simulation and quantum communication channels. Quantum error correction and other ways to prevent decoherence will be presented in depth.
