PHYS 1470 - FOUNDATIONS OF QUANTUM COMPUTING AND QUANTUM INFORMATION

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This is a mandatory course for students interested in the Quantum Computing and Quantum Information (QCQI) Undergraduate Certificate and students must pass this course with at least a C+ to fulfill the requirements of the QCQI Certificate. Any undergraduate student who has obtained at least a C+ in Calc I and Calc II is eligible to enroll in this course. Although linear algebra is used in the course, the necessary linear algebra will be taught as part of this course. No prerequisite knowledge of quantum mechanics is required. This course will help provide an overview of the foundations of quantum computing and quantum information. Linear algebra necessary for helping these foundational concepts will be taught as part of the course. The topic covered will include basics such as qubits, quantum states and their time evolution, superposition, measurement, entanglement, decoherence, as well as how these concepts can be applied in quantum computing, quantum communication and quantum sensing.
