Class Objectives
/Class Outline
The purpose of this course is to introduce various topics in quantum information theory and quantum computing. First we will introduce basic concepts and mathematical tools for quantum mechanical systems. Then we will discuss entanglement, its foundational role in quantum physics and its potential applications. We will discuss how to treat an electric circuit quantum mechanically and how such circuits, specifically superconducting circuits, can act as qubits. We will then discuss quantum algorithms and quantum simulation. Quantum measurement and quantum error correction will be briefly introduced. Other topics related to quantum information that will be introduced include quantum optimal control theory and cavity quantum electrodynamics. 
Class Schedule lesson1: Introduction lecture for some basics.
lesson2: Entanglement.
lesson3: Superconducting circuits as qubits.
lesson4: Quantum algorithms and quantum simulation.
