In this course, we will provide an introductory lecture on the basics of probability theory, quantum mechanics, and quantum
information science.
Quantum information science is a new field of information science that utilizes the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics in the microscopic world, such as atoms. When quantum properties are applied to information processing, it becomes possible to quickly break the mainstream RSA encryption used in modern cryptography (quantum computers), create unbreakable encryption (quantum key distribution), and even teleport objects (state) remotely (quantum teleportation).
The course format is a flipped classroom, where students will watch pre-recorded videos before the online lecture to ask questions and engage in discussions. There will be no exams, but students will have an assignment to present their research topic with some relevance to the course.

In quantum mechanics, we use new way of thinking, concepts and decriptions of physics different from those used in classical
physics.
One of the main purposes of this course is to study them as well as the applications of quantum information science, so that students can easily tackle the paradigm shift of information technology using quantum mechanics.
