SF-1200 Quantum Reality, Information, and Computing
Quantum theory and quantum computation are at the forefront of physics in the twenty-first century. These topics traditionally require substantial background in physics and mathematics. In this course, a new pedagogical approach is used to teaching quantum physics to an audience presumed only to know basic arithmetic. This seminar will introduce freshmen to the principles of quantum computer science and technology, allowing students to perform meaningful hands-on calculations with quantum circuits and algorithms. This course will also provide an opportunity to participate in the instructors ongoing work on actual quantum computers, and to interact with several Boston-area quantum computer scientists.
