PHY 568 - Quantum Information Science

This is a survey of the fast evolving field of quantum information, ranging from Bell inequality, quantum teleportation to quantum algorithms and quantum programming frameworks. It aims to cover the essential knowledge of quantum information science and helps to bridge the gap to the current research activities of the field. Emphasis will be placed on solid-state platforms of quantum computers, topological error correction codes, and applications. Some illustration of quantum programming will be done on IBM’s transmon-type cloud quantum computers.
