Prerequisites

This is an advanced class intended for students with solid knowledge in quantum and classical computing theory. This includes good familiarity with the quantum computation model (qubits, quantum circuits, quantum gates and their functionality), quantum states and manipulations (quantum state as a vector in Hilbert space, quantum operations as unitary operations, representation of quantum states as density matrices, measurements, projections and projective measurements, observables) and basic quantum algorithms (quantum Fourier transform, Grover's algorithm, Shor's algorithm).

Syllabus

The class will touch upon a variety of topics in quantum computing that go beyond the basic model and algorithms that are taught in introductory classes. We will touch upon topics in the intersection of quantum computing and theoretical cryptography, as well as topics in quantum information theory and quantum complexity.

Learning Outcomes

Knowledge of various topics in quantum computation, quantum cryptography and quantum information.
