Computer Science 692J - S- Quantum Algorithms

An introductory course on quantum computing covers the "classical" quantum algorithms developed by Peter Shor (Integer factorization), Grover (database search), and so on. In this seminar we will cover recent algorithms proposed for optimization, solving graph problems such as matching, machine and online learning, and for generating and distributing entanglement across networks. All students are required to present papers. This suffices to receive one credit. Students willing to do a project can take the course for three credits.

Open to Graduate students only. COMPSCI 590Q or 690Q SECT 01=3 CR; SECT 02=1 CR. GRADUATE STUDENTS WITH A PREVIOUS COURSE IN QUANTUM SYSTEMS, OR INSTRUCTOR APPROVAL. STUDENTS NOT MEETING PREREQUISITE SHOULD CONTACT INSTRUCTOR: towsley@cs.umass.edu
