This multidisciplinary program delves into the next generation of computing, which will take compute power and the ability to solve extremely complex problems, whether in medicine, modeling, or telecommunication to the next level, and is therefore demanded by many employers in these and other sectors.
The program covers quantum theory and how it is applied in the fields of computing and communication. It covers the concepts of qubits, superposition, entanglement, quantum gates, and quantum algorithms in order to understand the difference between classical and quantum computing. Other topics include quantum electrodynamics, including cavity and circuit qubits, quantum superconductivity, non-linear harmonic oscillators, etc. Students are introduced to quantum computing concepts such as quantum hardware, processors, circuits, instruction sets, quantum programming languages, quantum error correction, algorithms, and quantum cryptography. Students learn how to design, simulate, and test the core parts of a superconducting Qubit.
