About the Course

The course provides an introduction to quantum information at a beginning graduate level. It focuses on the fundamental understanding of how information is processed with quantum systems and how the quantum properties apply to computing and communication tasks. The course begins by presenting quantum theory as the framework of information processing. Quantum systems are introduced with single and two qubits. Axioms of quantum theory such as states, dynamics, and measurements are explained as preparation, evolution, and readout of qubits. Quantum computing and quantum communication are explained. Entanglement is identified as a key resource of quantum information processing. Manipulation and quantification of entangled states are provided.  Quantum information processing opens an avenue to new information technologies beyond the current limitations but, more importantly, provides an approach to understanding information processing at the most fundamental level. What is desired is to find how Nature performs information processing with the quantum and classical systems. The ultimate power of Nature in computing and communication may be found and understood. The course provides a modest step to learn quantum information about how physical systems can be manipulated by the laws of quantum mechanics, how powerful they are in practical applications, and how the fundamental results make quantum advantages....

Challenging quizzes and final exam; understanding solutions to problems boosts understanding of the topic. Many topics clearly, albeit rapidly, covered.Review with self-reading contextualizes material

The course was challenging as an Introductory course. I had to read through books and solve problems before taking the test, as the lectures and assignments required a fair bit of formalization.

The course materials were very good. The lecturer was knowledgeable though it felt like he was explaining to some professor rather than beginners like us. I had to look around at other online lectures on YouTube to understand some topics. So, be prepared to learn from sources other than this to introduce yourself to Quantum Information.

This is an advanced topic taught by an expert in the field. I would love to have materials to read outside of the course.

수업내용은 좋았고 양자에 대해 알게되다.

하지만 한국어 자막도 있으면 더 잘 이해하고 르게 이해할것같다.

Considero el curso tiene un fundamento matemático bastante fuerte y está bien estructurado. Apesar de esto, considero que es a veces seguir el hilo de las lecciones es dificil y otras explicaciones son muy superficiales. Creo que se podría mejorar un poco en como se trasmite el conocimiento modulando el tono de voz o yendo detalladamente en ciertos pasos de computo. Soy matemática graduada y me enfrenté a estos problemas recurrentemente en las lecciones.
