Objectives of the Course The purpose of this course is:
the basic principles of quantum information processes, quantum computations and algorithms;
the engineering background for modern qubit-based devices;
the improving the student informatics skills for engineering applications;
the improving the student skills for their independent studies of original scientific literature.
Course Content Interdisciplinary introduction to basic concepts of quantum informatics and quantum computation processes covers: classical information (Boolean) processes, quantum logic processes; quantum logical gates and their matrix description; qubits, basic quantum gates; quantum mechanical approach to logic; pure and entangled states, qubits as quantum systems; control of qubit state; Von Neumann entropy; quantum decoherence; EPR paradox and Bell’s states, quantum teleportation; different physical models of quantum computation.
Course Methods and Techniques You’re welcome to change the ones that do not apply to your course
• Please, no eating in class
• English should be used at all times to communicate with one another during instruction hours.
• Please, respect the allotted times provided for breaks.
• Cell phones must be turned off and put away during class. Personal computers are only to be used during in-class lab times and only for class assignments. Unless it is part of the lecture time activity assigned by the instructor, do not use the computer. When using the computer do not surf on the web or write personal emails, etc. Consequences include but are not limited to loss of participation points, extra assignments, and/or being asked to leave the classroom.
• Please, bring the required materials, including textbooks and notebooks.
• Please be prepared, having read, written and studied the assigned lessons, articles, or passages;
• Please be ready to write assignments in class that will be graded; and most importantly work cooperatively with other students.
