What's This Course About??

We are going to learn about Quantum Computing. There will be some quantum mechanics, but nothing too deep. This is almost entirely a math class (since we don't have any quantum computers to hack on), so be prepared for that. We'll cover some of the background you need in the class, but basic linear algebra will be assumed.

Meetings

TR 2:00pm-3:15pm (Room ECCR 116)

Grading

There will be occasional homework assignments accounting for 60% of your grade. Class participation will account for 10%. And the remaining 30% will be based on a presentation each student will give. There will be no quizzes or exams.

Textbook

We will start with Mermin and perhaps move on to the Kaye text, or we may stick to papers. I'll give plenty of warning if we need to buy the Kaye text.

Course Web page
