Course Description

 

This course is open to all graduate students and undergraduates. The final grades are based on final exam (60%), homework and attendance of the class (20%), as well as a report about quantum information (20%, the subject can be arbitrary, which is preferably related to your current research project, recent progress or your own ideas along one specific area on theoretical or experimental quantum information).
