Mathematical Methods for Quantum Computing

Catalog description

This course develops the mathematical foundations essential for quantum computing and information, with emphasis on linear algebra, vector spaces, tensor products, spectral theory, measurement, and probability. Additional topics include generalized measurements, entropy, and open quantum systems. Concepts are presented through low-dimensional examples and interactive in-class derivations to ensure clarity and accessibility. | Knowledge of basic matrix algebra and vectors (e.g., from an undergraduate linear algebra course). | Corequisites: PH-GY 6603
