Synopsis:

Quantum information has been on the rise for years. In this course, we explore the basics of quantum information theory with a strong emphasis on quantum computing. We discuss some of the most important quantum principles that lead to the so called quantum advantage and discuss many important quantum algorithms with the requisite amount of theoretical underpinning.

Requirements:
Syllabus of lectures:

1. Introduction to quantum physics
