Quantum Information and Communication

Lecturer:

Igor Jex (gar.)

Tutor:

Igor Jex (gar.)

Supervisor:

Department of Physics

Synopsis:

The analysis of information processes from the point of view of quantum theory lead to the formation of a new field -- quantum information processes. The cources discusses some of the basic concepts of quantum information processing like quantum algorithms, error correction, quantum cryptography.
