一、課程說明(Course Desc<x>ription)
<br>
<br>This is an introductory course to quantum information.  With a highly 
<br>interdisciplinary nature of this course, background materials in quantum 
<br>mechanics, mathematical tools, computer science, and electrical engineering will 
<br>be introduced. Topics include quantum entanglement, quantum computation, and 
<br>quantum communications. The most important requirement for students taking this 
<br>course is a certain level of mathematical maturity and the curiosity to learn 
<br>about quantum information.
<br>

<br>四、教學方式(Teaching Method)
<br>
<br>After an introduction to the scope of this course, a brief of 
<br>mathematical materials needed to describe the basic principles of quantum 
<br>mechanics and the related concepts in quantum information will be given. After 
<br>presenting the postulates of quantum mechanics, several examples of quantum 
<br>systems will be illustrated. Quantum entanglement will then be discussed, which 
<br>has been highly exploited in quantum information processing, including quantum 
<br>computation and quantum communications. We will introduce how to build quantum 
<br>circuits and by which how to run quantum algorithms with killing applications. 
<br>In quantum communications, we will focus on quantum cryptography.
