PEP 557 Quantum Information and Quantum Computation
The course will focus on fundamentals of quantum computation. The topics to be covered include: quantum foundation, quantum channel, quantum qubits, noise and decoherence, master equation and Kraus operations, quantum entanglement, quantum circuits, universal quantum gates, quantum algorithms, quantum error correction codes. The course will not only cover the theoretical aspects of quantum computing and quantum information but also cover physical realizations of quantum computers in various physical contexts including quantum optical systems, solid state qubits etc.
