CMSC 643 - Quantum Computation

[3]

The course begins with a brief overview of those topics in quantum mechanics and mathematics needed to understand quantum computation. It then will focus on quantum algorithms, covering such topics as quantum superposition and quantum entanglement, quantum decoherence, quantum teleportation, quantum Turing machines, Shor’s algorithm, Grover’s algorithm, Hallgren’s algorithm, quantum information theory, quantum data compression, quantum cryptographic protocols, quantum error-correcting codes and implementation issues. Various research-level problems will be discussed.
Prerequisite: Prerequisite: CMSC 641, CMSC 651 or consent of instructor.
