Advanced Quantum Computer Basic Technology

Course title

1M993250

Course content

Students will understand quantum computers from the perspective of computer architecture. Quantum computers can be thought of as a type of accelerator (domain-specific architecture) that specializes in a specific domain and accelerates computations. Many of the accelerators used today take advantage of the parallelism of the computational target. In this class, students first acquire knowledge about parallel computers, and then learn about accelerators such as GPUs. Next, students will understand quantum computers in terms of instruction sets and quantum processors. Finally, students will learn about quantum error correction, which is the key to constructing quantum computers.

Purpose of class

Students will understand quantum computers in relation to domain-specific architectures, and also learn quantum error correction, which is one of the most important technologies in quantum computers.

Goals and objectives

To be able to describe domain-specific architectures and to execute programs for parallel computers.
To be able to explain quantum instruction sets and quantum processors.
To be able to simulate the construction and operation of quantum error correction by hand.

Evaluation method and criteria

We score 20% for exercises, 30% for a report, and 50% for a final exam.
If a student can describe parallel computers, quantum instruction sets, and quantum processor, and also can calculate the construction and operation of quantum error correction, the score will be at least 60%.
