Spring 2025 (Tentative)
PHY 631: Quantum Information Physical Systems and Materials
This course will cover various physical systems and materials currently used for quantum information processing. It is divided into a few modules, including quantum computers based on superconducting qubits, solid-state spins, photons, trapped ions, and topologically protected states, and also including quantum communications and networks. The course aims to bridge the gap between the physical principles and the state-of-the-art and future quantum information technologies.
We will meet on Wednesday 3:30 – 6:20 PM in Physics B131 (1-3 credits).
