Quantum Communication and Computation

The course introduces central topics in quantum communication and quantum computing, including:

- quantum bits, their representation using state vectors and density matrices, and fidelity with respect to a target qubit.

- quantum gates and quantum circuit diagrams.

- quantum communication, the no-cloning theorem and quantum key distribution.

- entanglement, its roles as a fundamental property of nature and a resource for quantum technology.

- quantum computation, algorithms and error correction.
