Investigates the physical systems used to implement quantum computers. Covers basics of atomic clocks, laser interferometers, quantum key distribution, quantum networks, and three types of qubits (ion-based, superconductor-based, and semiconductor-based).
Quantum Boot Camp is a short course for students interested in taking the Quantum Information Specialization within the College of Computer, Mathematical and Natural Sciences and A. James Clark School of Engineering. Designed for computer science, engineering and mathematics majors, Camp introduces basic concepts and techniques that are widely used in quantum information science. Its exercises are elementary versions of those that will be found in the full Quantum Information Specialization courses.
Quantum computers have the potential to efficiently solve certain problems that are intractable for ordinary, classical computers. This course will explore the concept of a quantum computer, including algorithms that outperform classical computation and methods for performing quantum computation reliably in the presence of noise. As this is a multidisciplinary subject, the course will cover basic concepts in theoretical computer science and physics in addition to introducing core quantum computing topics. No previous background in quantum mechanics is required.
