Learn about quantum computation and quantum information in this advanced graduate level course from MIT.

About this course

Already know something about quantum mechanics, quantum bits and quantum logic gates, but want to design new quantum algorithms, and explore multi-party quantum protocols? This is the course for you!

In this advanced graduate physics course on quantum computation and quantum information, we will cover:

The formalism of quantum errors (density matrices, operator sum representations)

Quantum error correction codes (stabilizers, graph states)

Fault-tolerant quantum computation (normalizers, Clifford group operations, the Gottesman-Knill Theorem)

Models of quantum computation (teleportation, cluster, measurement-based)

Quantum Fourier transform-based algorithms (factoring, simulation)

Quantum communication (noiseless and noisy coding)

Quantum protocols (games, communication complexity)

Research problem ideas are presented along the journey.

What you’ll learn

Formalisms for describing errors in quantum states and systems

Quantum error correction theory

Fault-tolerant quantum procedure constructions

Models of quantum computation beyond gates

Structures of exponentially-fast quantum algorithms

Multi-party quantum communication protocols
