Course Contents
Quantum computing exploits the quantum mechanical nature of matter to exist in multiple
possible states simultaneously. Building upon the digital binary logic of bits, quantum
computing is built based on interacting two-level quantum systems or ‘qubits’ that follow the
laws of quantum mechanics. The addressability of the quantum system and its fragility to
fidelity are significant issues of concern, which, if addressed appropriately, will enable this
new approach to revolutionize the present form of computing. After developing the basics, this
course delves into various implementation aspects of quantum computing and quantum
information processing. A list of topics that would be attempted to be covered (not in any
particular order) are as follows:
 Introduction to the Classical & the Quantum
 Dirac Approach of Quantum Formulation
 Quantum Measurements: Density Matrices
 Positive-Operator Valued Measure
 The fragility of quantum information: Decoherence
 Quantum Superposition and Entanglement
 Quantum Gates and Circuits
 No cloning theorem & Quantum Teleportation
 Bell’s inequality and its implications
 Quantum Algorithms & Circuits
 Deutsch and Deutsch–Jozsa algorithms
 Grover’s Search Algorithm
 Quantum Fourier Transform
 Shore’s Factorization Algorithm
 Quantum Error Correction: Fault tolerance
 Quantum Information & Quantum Cryptography
 Implementing Quantum Computing: issues of fidelity
 Scalability in quantum computing
 Various Aspects of Quantum Computing Implementation (as a part of project)
o NMR Quantum Computing
o QED and Spintronics approaches
o Linear Optical Approaches
o Nonlinear Optical Approaches
o Superconducting, Photonics, Neutral Atom, Trapped Ions, Quantum Dots, etc.
o Practical programming of qubit gates using Q#, Pennylane, or equivalent
 Limits of all the discussed approaches
 How promising is the future?

Outcomes of this Course:


A working knowledge of Quantum Information and Quantum Computer to appreciate its utility
and present need. A hands-on experience with quantum algorithms available freely online would
also be possible for interested students. The hands-on project experience would be unique.
