Electrical & Computer Engin 397Q - ST-Intro/Quantum Computing

Introduction to quantum computing will give an overview of the emerging field of quantum computing starting with a basis in quantum optics and then survey various modalities of quantum computing hardware such as trapped ions, photonics and Transmons as well as sources of decoherence for each. In labs students will then program simulations of single qubit operations such as Rabi and Ramsey pulse sequences as well as two qubit manipulations such as Bell state generation to construct quantum circuits from fundamental quantum mechanical interactions. Finally, these labs will culminate in programming simulations of quantum algorithms by Grover and Shor using popular quantum computing Python libraries such as Qiskit and QuTiP.

Open to undergraduate E&C-ENG and PHYSICS students. E&C-ENG 213 and 214
