Under construction. This area is a framework being built: most courses have no teaching material yet, and things may change or break. Private self-study. Not an official programme and not recognised by any ministry or school. No qualification, mark or document is issued, and “years 1 to 3” and “advanced” are names of study paths only.
E07 Quantum computing and information
Years 1 to 3 pathE: Proposed extensionsplannedproposed, not in any programmeabout 120 h (planning estimate)
Planned: syllabus only, no teaching material yet. Nothing on this page can be studied; it describes what the course would cover.
In no programme. This is a proposed extension course; the owner has not approved it into a programme.
Proposed by the assistant to fill a gap in the owner's catalogue. It is in no programme until the owner approves it.
Why this course
A modern CS-and-linear-algebra topic.
Prerequisites
Concept-level units
Units follow the syllabus order, as a recommended sequence rather than a gate.
- Qubits and gates
- Entanglement and measurement
- Deutsch–Jozsa, Simon and Grover
- Quantum Fourier transform and Shor
- Complexity classes
- Error correction first look
Assessable outcome
Analyse a quantum algorithm with linear algebra and state its resource cost.
Assessment design
- topic exercises
- mixed problem sets
- unseen proof or derivation problems
- cumulative examination
cumulative; uses spaced retrieval
