| 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). | 5 credits | 2V + 1U | L. Pacheco Cañamero B. del Rio | |
| Abstract | The course will cover the key concepts and ideas of quantum information processing, including descriptions of 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 will be described. These ideas provide fundamental insights into the nature of quantum states and measurement. | ||||
| Learning objective | We aim to provide an overview of the central concepts in Quantum Information Processing, including insights into the advantages to be gained from using quantum mechanics and the range of techniques based on quantum error correction which enable the elimination of noise. | ||||
| Content | The topics covered in the course will include 1. Entanglement 2. Circuits, circuit elements, universality 3. Efficiency ideas, Gottesmann Knill 4. Teleportation + dense coding 5. Swapping/Gate Teleportation 6. Algorithms: Shor, Grover, 7. Deutsch-Josza, simulations of local systems 8. Cryptography 9. Error correction, basic circuit, 10. ideas of construction, Fault-tolerant design, | ||||
| Lecture notes | Will be made available on the Moodle for the course. More details to follow. | ||||
