Quantum Communication and Cryptography

In this hands-on class, we will explore how to create applications for a quantum network. We start by learning about what a quantum network is, and what applications are already known. We will learn essential concepts and tools, and apply them in hands-on programming assignments in which the students will realize applications for a quantum network on two (simulated) quantum network nodes.   

The final grade of the course consists of the following components:

• Homework (weighting 60%)

• Final Project (weighting 30%)

• Weekly Quiz (weighting 10%)

Final grade calculation: 0.6 * Homework + 0.3 * Final Project + 0.1 * Quiz

A passing final grade for the course can only be earned when for the homework and final project at least a 5.0 is earned, and the weighted final grade is at least a 5.8.
