Course description
The course is based on graduate course of quantum mechanics. The course will start with advanced quantum mechanics of open systems. Master equation and Lindblad operators will be explained. Measurements theory and Bell inequalities also
will be explained. Classical and quantum information theory will follow [Shannon theorems on channel capacity]. Important subject is algorithm theory: Shor's and Grover's quantum algorithms. Different approaches to physical implementations of quantum computers will be mentioned: solid state and quantum optics. Different models of quantum computation will be explained: circuit, adiabatic approach, topological quantum computation and measurement based quantum computation.
Course requirements
Only enrolled students can attend lectures.
Attendance is expected. Homework assignments should be turned on time, late homework will not be accepted. There will be two midterms and a final exam. Absence at a midterm can be justified by a medical problem of a student [or a legal dependent] supported by medical papers in English (the doctor will be contacted to verify the note). Taking the final exam is a requirement.
