| Outline and Purpose of the Course | An overview of the quantum information sciences will be given. The topics includes the basic picture of wave/particle duality, quantum key distribution, quantum computation, quantum communication, quantum measurements. | |||
| Course Goals | To understand the basic concepts/mechanisms of quantum key distribution, quantum computers, and quantum metrology so that one can read and understand the scientific papers of the related area. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
Introduction, 3 times, First, we outline the whole lecture and then explain basic concepts such as quantum bit, quantum gate, quantum entanglement etc. Quantum Computer (Theory), 3 times, On quantum computation, various quantum algorithms are discussed. Quantum Computer (Experiment),3 times, Quantum information processing is being studied in various physical systems such as photon, ion trap, nuclear spin and the like. We will explain how to realize them. Quantum Key distribution and Quantum metrology,4 times, Describe the basic concept of quantum cryptography and quantum measurements and their recent research trends. Summary and Outlook, 2 times, In addition to summarizing the whole, if time permits, discuss the problems of quantum information science and ethics. |
|||
| Evaluation Methods and Policy |
Comprehensive evaluation based on normal points (25 points) and reports (3 times, 25 points each). ・ In principle, if you miss four or more classes, you will be rejected. ・ Reports must be submitted all times. Give high points for those that show their own ingenuity. Note that as a result of the comprehensive evaluation, there may be the case that you fail to earn the credits even when you submit all the reports and attend all the classes. |
|||
| Course Requirements | Basic understanding of quantum mechanics will be helpful. | |||
| Study outside of Class (preparation and review) | The reports are mandatory. | |||
| Textbooks | Textbooks/References | No text book will be used. | ||
