Advanced Quantum Computer Basic Technology

Course title

1M993250

Purpose of class

Students will learn key technologies that can play crucial roles in designing quantum computers that meet both performance and cost goals.

Course content

Students will learn about quantum computers from universal quantum gate sets and quantum processors, and then study quantum error correction, which is essential for building quantum computers. The course will also provide an overview of quantum communication, which is closely related to quantum computers.
The course begins with learning the computer architecture technologies used in modern (classical) computers, focusing particularly on pipelines and parallel processors. These concepts are considered necessary for constructing quantum computers as well. Parallelization techniques are also used when simulating quantum computers with classical computers. In relation to this, the course will touch on accelerators (domain-specific architectures) that speed up computations in specific fields by exploiting parallelism.

Goals and objectives

Students can explain pipelines and parallel processors and write programs with parallel processors in mind.
Students can explain universal quantum gate sets and quantum processors in quantum computers.
Students can manually simulate the structure and operation of quantum error correction and quantum communication.
