Course description
This quantum technology and statistical physics course is designed to allow students to acquire the skills necessary to investigate scientific and engineering problems.
Purpose of class
Quantum technology:
Because of the lag of experimental and observing techniques, theoretical investigations preceded experiments in quantum technologies. However, recent developments in superconducting devices, quantum dots, and quantum optics raise hopes that the quantum era will arrive in the years ahead. At the beginning of the course, we introduce the quantum theory after giving an overview of quantum technologies. Through tractable, simple examples, we learn the fundamentals of quantum physics and its applications.

Statistical physics:
Statistical mechanics gives a framework for understanding macroscopic phenomena in view of microscopic interactions. Because of its broad applicability in the analytic description of phenomena beyond physics, it is indispensable in materials, information, and quantum engineering. At the beginning of the course, we introduce the statistical physics and analyze tractable simple models. Through exercises, we learn the fundamentals of statistical physics and its applications.
Goals and objectives
  1. Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to calculate probabilities relating to observations in quantum physics and quantum operations.
  2. Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to explain quantum algorithms and quantum circuits based on quantum theory.
  3. Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to understand the fundamental framework of the statistical physics and to analyze rubber elasticity
    and magnetic materials.
  4. Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to compute quantities by using Monte Carlo simulations and to analyze the numerical data by finite-size scaling analysis.
