Fundamentals of Quantum Information

Overview

Quantum information is at the heart of quantum computing: learn how it is mathematically represented via quantum circuits and how to manipulate quantum entanglement with these circuits.

What you'll learn

  • Utilize quantum circuits to represent, manipulate, and measure single/multi-qubit quantum states
  • Create entanglement and use it to teleport quantum information
  • Compile quantum circuits to universal gate sets
  • Use electron spins to store quantum information in Quantum Inspire, QuTech quantum computing cloud-based platform
  • Understand quantum supremacy and NISQ devices

Syllabus 6

  1. Quantum circuits, gates, measurement
  2. Teleportation, superdense coding, entanglement swapping
  3. Quantum compiling, universal gate sets
  4. Encoding functions into unitaries, quantum parallelism
  5. Quantum Inspire, physics and operations with spin qubits
  6. Quantum supremacy and the NISQ era
