CMSC 743 - Quantum Information Science

[3]

This course will begin with a brief review of quantum mechanics. It then will focus on quantum communication and quantum information, covering such topics as quantum noise and decoherence and quantum process tomography. Quantum error correction, quantum entropy, the Holevo bound, quantum data compression, quantum information over quantum channels, entanglement as a physical resource and advanced quantum cryptographic protocols. Various research-level problems will be discussed.
Prerequisite: Prerequisite: CMSC 641, CMSC 643 , CMSC 651, CMSC 656 or consent of instructor.
