Course Description:

Quantum computation and quantum information science is a rapidly growing area. Quantum cryptography is in commercial use, and the construction of practical quantum computer still require a lot of research from different disciplines including mathematics, physics, computer science, chemistry, engineering, material science, etc.

In this course, we will give a basic introduction of the subject. The following topics will be covered: basic linear algebra background, the mathematical framework for quantum mechanics, qubits and quantum key distributions, quantum gates and quantum circuits in quantum computing, quantum integral transforms, quantum algorithms of Deutsch, Joza, Grover and Shor, decoherence, quantum error correction, DiVinzenzo criteria, physical realizations. Current research problems related to the class discussion will be mentioned.
