Description

This course is devoted to applications of Quantum Information Science. The course is divided in three parts. Part I is a survey of current implementation schemes from quantum computers, from superconducting flux qubits to ion traps to NMR to adiabatic computers like D-wave. Part II is devoted to simulating quantum systems and quantum computers. Using the package QUTIP (see http://qutip.org/docs/latest/installation.html) students will learn how to simulate quantum circuits and quantum systems on a classical computer and perform some quantum algorithms. In part III, students will learn how to program a real quantum computer using the IBM Quantum Experience module and will write software for real quantum computers.
