| 402-0448-01L | Quantum Information Processing I: Concepts This theory part QIP I together with the experimental part 402-0448-02L QIP II (both offered in the Spring Semester) combine to the core course in experimental physics "Quantum Information Processing" (totally 10 ECTS credits). This applies to the Master's degree programme in Physics. | 5 credits | 2V + 1U | J. Home | |||||||||||
| Abstract | The course covers the key concepts of quantum information processing, including quantum algorithms which give the quantum computer the power to compute problems outside the reach of any classical supercomputer. Key concepts such as quantum error correction are discussed in detail. They provide fundamental insights into the nature of quantum states and measurements. | ||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | By the end of the course students are able to explain the basic mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics and apply them to quantum information processing problems. They are able to adapt and apply these concepts and methods to analyse and discuss quantum algorithms and other quantum information-processing protocols. | ||||||||||||||
| Content | The topics covered in the course will include quantum circuits, gate decomposition and universal sets of gates, efficiency of quantum circuits, quantum algorithms (Shor, Grover, Deutsch-Josza,..), quantum error correction, fault-tolerant designs, and quantum simulation. | ||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | Will be provided. | ||||||||||||||
| Literature | Quantum Computation and Quantum Information Michael Nielsen and Isaac Chuang Cambridge University Press | ||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | A good understanding of finite dimensional linear algebra is recommended. | ||||||||||||||
