PHYSIC 347 - Quantum Information II: Quantum Computation

3 Credit(s) | Lecture | Graded or pass/fail
Course can be counted for credit once

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.

Enrollment Requirements:
Prerequisite: PHYSIC 247  or permission of instructor
