Prerequisites
The students enrolling in this course should have followed the course on “Physics of Quantum Information” in Semester 1 (https://atom-tweezers-io.org/teaching/), or, if not, a course covering the same material at the same level. The present course will directly build on this course.
Programme/contents
Introduction to quantum computing and quantum error correction. Quantum gates. Di Vicenzo criteria and overview of the quantum computing platforms.
Module 1: hardware
Qubits based on atoms and ions. Architecture of ion and atom-based quantum computers.
Qubits based on superconducting circuits.
Other qubits: photons and electron spins.
Module 2: Algorithms
Quantum algorithms 1: the modules (QFFT, Phase estimation…)
Quantum algorithms 2: Grover, Shor and experimental demonstrations.
Module 3: Quantum error correction
Quantum error correction and description of codes (focus on surface code and their experimental realization)
Construction of a fault-tolerant architecture.
We will use illustrate the concepts and algorithms various using various opensource platforms, such as Qiskit, QuTip (http://qutip.org).
Learning objectives
Understand the currents status of the implementations, the current limitations of the platform and the proposed solutions to overcome them.
Read the specialized literature
Build on the course material to enrol in a specialized course on “quantum error correction and fault-tolerant quantum computing” at a doctoral level.
