Quantum computation and quantum information is the study of the information processing and computing tasks that can be accomplished using quantum mechanical systems. In this study, we exploit quantum effects, based on the principles of quantum mechanics, to compute or to process information in ways that are faster or more efficient than, or even impossible, on conventional computers or information processing devices.

The objective of the course is to provide an introduction to and a comprehensive review of quantum computing and quantum information processing to equip students with the ability and skill to understand and further study the emerging and disruptive quantum technologies and applications as they stand today and in the future.
