Fundamentals of quantum information systems, including quantum computation, quantum cryptography, and quantum information theory. Topics include: quantum circuit model, qubits, unitary operators, measurement, entanglement, quantum algorithms for factoring and search, quantum key distribution, error-correction and fault-tolerance, information capacity of quantum channels, complexity of quantum computation.

The purpose of this course is to provide students with supplementary material and insights about the software development enterprise. Students meet once a week for a one-hour discussion of software engineering topics whose exploration is intended to provide depth and perspective on the regular material of COMPSCI 320. Topics may be suggested by current events or by problems that may arise in the course of the 320 semester. Students will be required to write a term paper as part of the requirements for this course.

This is an honors colloquium for COMPSCI 311. Students will explore topics from the 311 curriculum in greater detail, focusing on advanced algorithms, real-world application, amortized analysis and space complexity, approximation and randomized algorithms.

This course introduces graduate students to the logical foundations of research methods and the wide variety of methodologies used by political scientists.

This course examines the persistence of inequality based on race, class, gender and/or citizenship as it relates to law, both in the U.S. and internationally. We will examine the legal system from a critical perspective, incorporating material from law, history, sociology, and other disciplines.

This interdisciplinary course will help students to understand what the term "sexuality studies" means by providing a foundation in the key concepts, historical and social contexts, topics, and politics that inform the fields of sexuality studies; lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender studies; and queer studies. Course instruction will be carried out through readings, lectures, films, and discussions, as well as individual and group assignments.

Cultural colonization and decolonization, the Negritude movement, contemporary writing in francophone West Africa, Haiti, and the French West Indies.

Course taught in English. In this course, students will explore the mind-body connection and its implications for conceptions of gender, identity, and power, both interpersonal and political through close analysis of visual art, texts, and films. Though the works we will analyze in this class were all produced in 20th-century Italy and center on representations of women and their bodies, all of these works appeal to a broad base of students.

Following the French New Wave, contemporary French cinema from the 1980s to the current era has revisited the country's recent historical past, in particular those periods of the Occupation and of decolonization, in addition to focusing on social issues such as the suburbs and their culture, immigration, and the French education system, in a variety of films including thrillers and comedies. This class will focus on how these topics reflect economic realities, national obsessions, behavioral conventions, and societal transformations.
