INFSCI 1610 QUANTUM INFORMATION AND COMPUTING

Introduces the emerging field of quantum information and computing, covering the theoretical foundations of the field and exposing students to quantum computing algorithms, quantum QUcommunication protocols, and quantum cryptographic primitives. Provides the necessary basics of quantum mechanics, quantum superposition states and entanglement, quantum information and how to quantify it, noise processes that affect quantum information, and universal set of quantum computing logic gates for quantum information processing. Course covers quantum computing algorithms search algorithms and Quantum Machine Learning algorithms; communication protocols; and cryptographic primitives such as bit commitment and entanglement games.
