Implementations of Quantum Computing - January 11-22, 2010

General Info


When will Quantum Computing become a reality?  It is already! This class will present the basic framework and review recent developments in the experimental
implementation of Quantum Computing ideas. Emphasis will be placed on the comparison of different flavors of "qubits", the quantum version of computing bits.
The target audience includes both undergraduate and graduate students, with a basic background in Quantum Mechanics.  The lecturers are graduate students and post-docs working in the field of Quantum Computing. This is a 2 week, non-credit class (10x1.5h lectures). Refreshments and snacks will be served daily, so that registration is needed for planning purposes. The class is sponsored by the Interdisciplinary Quantum Information Science and Engineering Program (IQuISE.mit.edu). The iQuISE program is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Registration and contact: Clarice Aiello, clarice@mit.edu

Date and Time


Class meets daily on weekdays, from Monday January 11, to Friday January 22, in the
Haus Room (36-428), from 1pm to 2.30pm.
