Autumn Quarter Quantum Science and Engineering Courses
I loved the opportunity to take this class.
PHYSICS 14N: "Monika consistently made the material engaging with live demonstrations and active class participation. I took this class my freshman spring, and it was phenomenal to be able to get an introduction to quantum information theory so early in my undergraduate career. It honestly set me up to be able to approach topics in quantum from a better angle since I already had an introduction to many of the topics. She even gave us an opportunity to talk with people who work in industry. Taking this class was truly an invaluable experience."
Quantum Information: Visions and Emerging Technologies is a freshman seminar taught by Physics Prof. Monika Schleier-Smith.
What sets quantum information apart from its classical counterpart is that it can be encoded non-locally, woven into correlations among multiple qubits in a phenomenon known as entanglement. The course discuss paradigms for harnessing entanglement to solve hitherto intractable computational problems or to push the precision of sensors to their fundamental quantum mechanical limits. The course also examines challenges that physicists and engineers are tackling in the laboratory today to enable the quantum technologies of the future.
