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-541: Quantum computingThis course introduces quantum computing, starting with quantum mechanics and information theory. It covers the quantum circuit model, universal gates, foundational quantum algorithms, noise, quantum
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-314: Quantum physics IIThe aim of this course is to familiarize the student with the concepts, methods and consequences of quantum physics.
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-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
PHYS-431: Quantum field theory IThe goal of the course is to introduce relativistic quantum field theory as the conceptual and mathematical framework describing fundamental interactions.
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
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
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
PHYS-216: Mathematical methods (for SPH)Ce cours est un complément aux cours d'analyse et d'algèbre linéaire qui apporte des méthodes et des techniques mathématiques supplémentaires requises pour les cours de physique de 3e année, notamment
