| Abstract | The course covers a selection of topics that are of current interest in quantum information theory and quantum computation. Particular focus will be put on theoretical concepts that impact future implementations of quantum technologies. |
| Learning objective | The course provides an insight into current research activities in quantum information science. |
| Content | The course covers a selection of topics that are of current interest in quantum information theory and quantum computation. Particular focus will be put on theoretical concepts that impact future implementations of quantum technologies. Topics include quantum state preparation using dissipation, quantum information in many-body systems, topological states and quantum computation, quantum simulation, and the complexity of physical systems. |
| Prerequisites / Notice | Prerequisites are the courses Quantum Mechanics I and II. The course is complementary to the course Quantum Information Theory. |
