CS-308: Introduction to quantum computationThe course introduces the paradigm of quantum computation in an axiomatic way. We introduce the notion of quantum bit, gates, circuits and we treat the most important quantum algorithms. We also touch
PHYS-454: Quantum optics and quantum informationThis lecture describes advanced concepts and applications of quantum optics. It emphasizes the connection with ongoing research, and with the fast growing field of quantum technologies. The topics cov
PHYS-463: Computational quantum physicsThe numerical simulation of quantum systems plays a central role in modern physics. This course gives an introduction to key simulation approaches, through lectures and practical programming exercises
PHYS-550: Quantum information theoryAfter recapping the basics of quantum theory from an information
theoretic perspective, we will cover more advanced topics in
quantum information theory. This includes introducing measures of quantum
PHYS-314: Quantum physics IIThe aim of this course is to familiarize the student with the concepts, methods and consequences of quantum physics.
CS-630: Fault-tolerant quantum computingThe course explains how to execute scalable algorithms on fault-tolerant quantum computers. It describes error correction used to build reliable logical operations from noisy physical operations, and
PHYS-344: Quantum mechanics for non-physicistsThis course introduces quantum mechanics to students who are interested in pursuing quantum science and technology but have not gone through the standard bachelor physics curriculum. The students will
MICRO-435: Quantum and nanocomputingThe course teaches non von-Neumann architectures. The first part of the course deals with quantum computing, sensing, and communications. The second focuses on field-coupled and conduction-based nanoc
ME-469: Nano-scale heat transferIn this course we study heat transfer (and energy conversion) from a microscopic perspective. First we focus on understanding why classical laws (i.e. Fourier Law) are what they are and what are their
PHYS-207(a): General physics : quantaCe cours est une introduction à la mécanique quantique. En partant de son développement historique, le cours traite les notions de complémentarité quantique et le principe d'incertitude, le processus
CH-110: Advanced general chemistry ILe cours comporte deux parties. Les bases de la thermodynamique des équilibres et de la cinétique des réactions sont introduites dans l'une d'elles. Les premières notions de chimie quantique sur les é
COM-401: Cryptography and securityThis course introduces the basics of cryptography. We review several types of cryptographic primitives, when it is safe to use them and how to select the appropriate security parameters. We detail how
CH-453: Molecular quantum dynamicsThe course covers several exact, approximate, and numerical methods to solve the time-dependent molecular Schrödinger equation, and applications including calculations of molecular electronic spectra.
PHYS-502: Interacting quantum matterThis course presents modern aspects of theoretical condensed matter physics with interfaces to statistical physics, quantum information theory, quantum field theory and quantum simulation.
