| Description: |
| There are many phenomena in quantum physics that cannot be explained with a classical understanding of Nature. These phenomena can be exploited to develop novel, powerful quantum information processing methods, which include the development of quantum computers. They can be used to run quantum algorithms with which one can efficiently solve problems that seem intractable with usual computation. Quantum computation has many potential applications, e.g., in material science, quantum chemistry, and combinatorial optimization.
In this course, we aim to develop a deeper understanding of quantum phenomena. In order to do so, we start with some basics from classical probability and information theory. Then, we first see some non-classical phenomena, such as the no-cloning theorem (quantum information cannot be copied) and entanglement, to name just two basic examples. Potential topics for the end of the course are selected quantum algorithms, examples from quantum communication, and quantum error correction.
This course has an emphasis on conceptual aspects of the topic, and we try to avoid technical discussions.
Nevertheless, a solid mathematical understanding is required.
The first part of the seminar requires no prior knowledge of quantum mechanics, which can be obtained in the course `Introduction to Quantum Computing' in parallel. |
