Information:
This course will deal with aspects of quantum information theory, whereas the previous course focused on aspects of quantum computation. We will learn about mixed states and their entanglement properties, general measurements, quantum channels, as well as compression and operational interpretations of entropy.
Materials:
We will provide lecture notes that we update here: Most of the lecture will be based on the book by Christandl, Ozols, Walter, and Witteeven.
Homework:
There will be homework problems roughly every week, posted here on Moodle on Monday before the tutorials. The homework is optional, but it will allow you to gain bonus points for the oral exam (0.3 if you achieve more than 50%). We aim to have 10 homework problem sets in total. The precise rules are as follows:
- You must hand in your homework solutions before 14:00 on the day of the deadline (Monday).
- You have to hand in your solutions as a single PDF document on Moodle with your name and matriculation number on the first page. Your solutions can be typeset using LaTeX or be handwritten. If you handwrite your solutions, please write neatly and use a PDF scanning app (there are many free ones). If we cannot read your homework then we cannot grade it!
- You can hand-in individually or in groups of two. To submit as a group, one person of the group submits one submission with two names and matriculation numbers on it. You can form different groups in each week.
- Your exam performance alone has to lead to a passing grade in order for the bonus points to apply
