The Quantum Information course (PHY580) presents the foundations of the second quantum revolution. It provides an understanding of how the notions of quantum entanglement, superposition, and qubits pave the way to the realization of tasks simply unimaginable in the classical realm. The course covers the four pillars of quantum technologies (communications, simulation, computation, metrology), from foundations to concrete realizations from quantum optics to superconducting circuits. In combines lectures, applications, bibliographic work, quantum programming sessions, and lab tours.

 

Course language: English (unless all students are French-speaking)
