Quantum Physics for Computing and Information
PHYS 6346
School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics
Provides an exploration of quantum physics that is accessible to non-physicists. Examines and builds on mathematical and physical descriptions of the quantum bit (qubit). Topics include linear algebra description of qubits, quantum measurement, postulates of quantum mechanics, physical realizations of qubits, single-qubit gates, multi-qubit gates, entanglement, and decoherence. In-class instruction will be complemented by simulations using state-of-the-art tools such as Qiskit. A final research project associated with the course is required. This course may be taken in parallel with PHYS 6340. No previous experience with quantum mechanics is needed. 3 credit hours.
Prerequisites: (MATH 2413 or MATH 2417 or equivalent) and (MATH 2414 or MATH 2419 or equivalent) and (MATH 2418 or equivalent).
