Description

Quantum information and computation is a very active interdisciplinary area between math, physics, and computer science. Quantum error correction plays a central role in the realization of quantum computing. The course is designed to give a brief but rather self-contained introduction to the mathematical methods of quantum error correction. The course covers topics on (I) a self-contained introduction to quantum information and computing: (II) quantum noise and error correction; (III) topological surface code. Before taking this course, Physics major students are expected to take Intro to Quantum Information or equivalent courses, non-Physics major students are expected to take Abstract Linear Algebra or equivalent courses, Students who are familiar with linear algebra and complex numbers are encouraged to contact the instructor to discuss enrollment.

Prerequisites

Non-physics majors or math majors familiar with linear algebra and complex numbers are encouraged to contact the instructor to discuss enrollment.
