Seminar: Quantum information and quantum computation (PS-Quant)5 ECTS
(englische Bezeichnung: Seminar: Quantum information and quantum computation)
(Prüfungsordnungsmodul: Physics seminar(s))

Lehrveranstaltungen:

• • Physics seminar: Quantum information and quantum computation
    (Hauptseminar, 2 SWS, Hanno Sahlmann, Mo, 14:00 - 16:00, HF; Einzeltermin am 4.2.2019, 16:00 - 18:00, HF; First meeting with distribution of talks: Monday 15.10. 14:00 HF)

Inhalt:

The seminar will serve as an introduction to the basic concepts of quantum information theory and quantum computation. Topics covered include
Basics of quantum theory:

• states

• evolution and measurement

• tensor product and entanglement

Uses of entanglement:

• Bell inequalities

• quantum cryptography

• quantum teleportation

• quantum information

Quantum computing:

• quantum circuits

• quantum algorithm

We will use mostly textbooks and lecture notes as a basis for the preparation of the talks. An important source will be the lecture notes of John Preskill
