Description

Quantum computers gain an exponential advantage over classical devices because their processors are built from quantum mechanical systems. The development of quantum architectures is a highly interdisciplinary topic, merging aspects of physics, information theory, computer science, and control theory. In this subject, students will learn the theory of how quantum processors work, the different approaches taken to building quantum processors, and the techniques utilized for the control and characterization of quantum computers.
