Quantum Information
- This is part II of a one year course which I teach for graduate students of physics who want to do research in quantum computation and information. The first part mainly focuses on the basics of quantum computation, this part deals mostly with quantum information and various new topics.
- Prerequisites:
- Source: The main source that I will use is the following book
Familiarity with Quantum Computation course is highly recommended. Knowledge with basic principles of quantum mechanics is absolutely necessary. In contrast to the previous programs, I assume that students, even non-physics students have such familiarity. Those who have not taken a course in quantum mechanics, can first go through the lecture notes of quantum mechanics.
