Course Objective

Main objective is to provide, Computer Engineering-wise, knowledge of fundamental quantum computation algorithms and designing new ones. This course will cover the most primary quantum computation subjects. Overview of quantum theory and introducing the qubit concept will be the beginning. Introducing the inherent parallelism in quantum computation is quintessential. Also supplied novel subjects will be quantum information, transmission of quantum information, quantum entanglement, quantum cryptography, quantum tele-portation.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Understanding of Qu-bits based computation and difference of Quntum computers from traditional ones.
2   Understanding of Quantum based manipulation of registers and gates and evolution of quantum states.
3   Gaining ability of describing quantum computation oriented algorithms using Q-gate diagrams.
4   Understanding quantum-telepotation & Exposure to Quantum Cryptography and demonstrating
5   Ability to analyze new quantum algorithms.
