Learning Outcomes
- Students will learn the fundamentals of quantum computing and quantum communications.
The course will start with a basic introduction of some experimental observations which justify quantum mechanics principles and in particular the probabilistic description of a physical system. We will then introduce the concepts of quantum bits and describe how to manipulate them through quantum circuits.
The advantages of quantum computing will be illustrated through some specific examples and algorithms including quantum search, quantum teleportation, and quantum random walks. Two lectures will be devoted to quantum communications and one will provide additional information about the physics of quantum systems and the devices used for technological applications. - Lecturers
