The Quantum and the Computer

1 Course Unit

This Freshman Seminar is designed to be a very introductory exposition about Quantum Computation and Quantum Information Science. There are no formal physics, mathematics, or computer science prerequisites. It is meant primarily for freshmen in SAS and Wharton, who have an itch to learn about a beautiful subject that intrinsically unites quantum physics, computation, and information science. The structure of the course will be lecture-based using small-team based exercises for evaluation. The enrollment will be limited to 20 students. Freshmen standing. Fall or Spring 1 Course Unit
