MMath&Phys Mathematics and Physics

Explain the fundamental principles of quantum information theory and their relation to classical information theory. 

Describe and apply concepts such as qubits, entanglement, and quantum circuits in the characterisation of quantum systems and their advantages for information processing tasks. 

Two one hour, live in-person lectures per week where the core material with examples will be delivered. The recordings of these lectures will be on the course online page. The lectures are accompanied by brief summary notes and for some of the material explanatory videos that the students are expected to assimilate before the lecture. This is augmented by a weekly online quiz (where the students get automatic feedback), and fortnightly problems. A Piazza discussion forum is also provided where students can ask questions with answers provided by other students and the unit lead.Assessment methods
