| Content | Quantum information theory is the basis of multiple emerging technologies, such as quantum computation and quantum crypotography. It allows us to understand how quantum effects in physical systems may be harnessed for new forms of communication and information processing. In this course we will first introduce the basics of information theory in general. This will then be adapted to the case of qubits, the quantum analogue of the bit, to form a quantum theory of information. Examples of how this can be used to understand complex quantum effects such as entanglement will also be explored. The course will then move on to discussing how noise can be managed in quantum systems by means of quantum error correction. The course will also feature some hands on experience with quantum technology, with excercises using IBM's 5 qubit quantum processor. |
