Quantum Information and Quantum Computing

(4 Credits)

Quantum mechanical systems can be thought of as information-storing, information-processing, and information transmitting systems. The theory of quantum information contains many surprising and counter-intuitive results, and holds significant potential impacts on society. Topics will include density operators, quantum communication, teleportation, quantum cryptography, entanglement and the Bell Inequalities, quantum computing, quantum algorithms, quantum error correction, quantum circuits, and experimental developments..
