An introduction to the concept of a quantum computer, including algorithms that outperform classical computation and methods for performing quantum computation reliably in the presence of noise. As this is a multidisciplinary subject, the course will cover basic concepts in theoretical computer science and physics in addition to introducing core quantum computing topics.
Investigates the physical systems used to implement quantum computers. Covers basics of atomic clocks, laser interferometers, quantum key distribution, quantum networks, and three types of qubits (ion-based, superconductor-based, and semiconductor-based).
An introduction to the field of quantum information processing. Students will be prepared to pursue further study in quantum computing, quantum information theory, and related areas.
Covers the fundamentals of quantum control and metrology in both digital and analog domains: design and calibration of quantum gates, analog quantum operations, quantum state preparation, and measurement; estimation, characterization, and mitigation of environmental noise; synthesis of logical quantum circuits to physical quantum circuits for agiven quantum hardware architecture. Connects quantum control and metrology tothe deployment of quantum algorithms on near-term quantum computers: superconducting qubits, ion trap qubits, and neutral atom qubits.
