PH 534 Quantum Information and Quantum Computing (Spring 2017-18)
Instructor Name: Prof. Sai Vinjanampathy
Course Type: Honours/Elective
Pre-requisites: Basic quantum mechanics (schrodinger's equation, particle in a box, simple harmonic ladder operators, dirac notation) - but these were revised from the very basics - so not a hard prerequisite.
Course Content: Open Quantum Systems Theory (composite systems, density matrices, partial traces and Schmidt decomposition, CPTP maps, Kraus representation, Stinesping dilation, Choi & Jamiałkowski isomorphism), Geometry of quantum states, separability and entanglement, Bell’s inequalities, Entropy, Entanglement & Measures
Other topics covered: Algorithms - super dense coding, DQC-1, Shor, Grover.
Books: Quantum Computation and Quantum Information - Nielsen and Chuang, The Theory of Open Quantum Systems - Breuer & Petruccione
Lectures: No attendance was taken. Everything was taught on the blackboard - additional topics were taught using presentations. Classes can digress a bit, but the prof teaches pretty well and takes time to answer all questions.
Assignments: Fortnightly tutorials, no grades as such, but some bonus marks for participating in helping out during the tutorial. Fairly straightforward to solve.
Exams and Grading: 2 quizzes (15mks each), midsem (30mks) and endsem (40mks).
Online material: Preskill (Caltech)'s Notes from his course
Pro-tips: Attending the class is very useful. With little practice, you should be able to do fairly well.
Respondent: Hrishikesh Iyer
