Fundamentals of Quantum Engineering

3 credits · Graduate School

Overview of quantum effects in microelectronics and introduction to quantum computing. The needs, opportunities, and challenges of extending current computing paradigms to quantum-enhanced microelectronics technologies are discussed. Students are introduced to basis states of quantum systems and principles of superposition and entanglement, qubits, and basic algorithms relevant to quantum computing. Practical implementations of quantum computing are illustrated. A student project on current developments in quantum computing is required. SPRING. [3]
