The goal of this course is for students to learn the fundamental principles of quantum information theory. At the end of the Course they should be able to apply these principles to analyze, address and solve basic models and problems of quantum information theory independently, understanding the physical significance of the results obtained. Expected Learning Outcomes. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to: 1) Discuss the fundamentals of quantum information theory and the main phenomena described by this theory. 2) Solve the basic exercises of quantum information theory.
Prerequisiti
Basic knowledge of quantum mechanics, calculus, and linear algebra.
Metodi didattici
Lectures, during which the theoretical concepts of the course will be introduced and exercises solved.
Verifica Apprendimento
The examination consists of an oral discussion, during which understanding of the basic principles of quantum information theory and their applications to simple problems will be evaluated.
Contenuti
After an introduction to classical computation, we will present, in a systematic fashion, the main concepts of quantum computation and communication. The physical consequences of quantum information theory will be illustrated by means of simple examples. The course will end with a more advance topic: quantum noise.
