An Introduction to Quantum Computing

Catalog description

This course provides an introduction to quantum information and quantum computing from a physics perspective. We will first review the basic principles of quantum mechanics and then discuss the general underlying concepts of quantum information. Various important quantum algorithms will be discussed followed by a discussions of issues related to entanglement and quantum measurements. We will conclude the course with a brief look at qubit technologies and some of the exciting developments involving quantum information in the field of quantum gravity.
