PHYS 2052-C Intermediate Physics

Abstract

Important Note: The course will be delivered remotely, in a hybrid synchronous/asynchronous format. This means we will have live lectures at the scheduled times but recordings will be available. ___Goals and Objectives___ The goal of Intermediate Physics II is to supply an introduction to quantum phenomena. In this particular semester, this introduction is through the prism of quantum computers. The objectives of the class is to familiarize the students with IBM’s Virtual Quantum Laboratory and with the quantum mechanical principles needed to understand, program and operate quantum computers. Topics: Quantum revolution, quantum computers, quantum algorithms, quantum circuits, qubits, IBM Virtual Quantum Laboratory, Logic.ly platform for classical logic circuits Important Note: The course is self-contained and certain mathematical concepts/methods will complement the physics. They are integral parts of the course.
