QSEG 610 - Engineering the Quantum Revolution

Institution:

University of Delaware

Subject:

Description:

Introduces students to concepts that underlie the engineering and production of scalable, robust, and reliable devices. Covers hardware, software (i.e. gate-level machine language), and programming (i.e. languages). The hardware portion introduces the engineering tools used to achieve scalability and reliability in classical integrated electronic and photonic circuits, including limiters, thresholds, and process design kits. Explores the challenges and limits to developing similar methods for quantum systems. The gate-level software portion introduces and compares classical and quantum gates and error correction algorithms and explore how quantum systems must be designed to prevent or accommodate errors arising from decoherence. The language portion explores how programming languages are built up from gate-level primitives and introduce best practices for efficient programming in a multi-user environment.
