IIT Kharagpur offers short course on Quantum Information and Computation

IIT Kharagpur is offering a short course on Quantum Information and Computation from July 24, 2023, to July 28, 2023.

IIT Kharagpur's short course on Quantum Information and Computation will be offered from July 24, 2023, to July 28, 2023. This short course would introduce the basics building blocks of quantum formalism towards the developments of quantum information and computation.

Moreover, the fundamental concepts like quantum gates, quantum algorithm, classical information transmission with and without security, teleportation will be introduced. 

The discussion on 2022 Physics Nobel prize, on the experimental demonstration of non-locality will help the students to understand the foundation of quantum mechanics. This course can provide individuals with valuable knowledge, career opportunities, and a deeper understanding of the quantum world and can actively contribute to the cutting-edge research and innovations. It equips them with skills that are increasingly in demand in various industries, while also fostering a sense of intellectual growth and exploration.

Eligibility requirement is an advanced B.Tech, B. S, MSc, MTech, PhD Scholar in Physics and Master degree holder teachers at Engineering Colleges / Degree colleges.

Quantum information and computation is a field of study that combines the principles of quantum mechanics, classical information theory and the knowledge of computer science to explore the fundamental aspects of information and develop new computational paradigms. 

It harnesses the unique properties of quantum systems, such as superposition, entanglement, non-locality to process and transmit information in ways that are fundamentally different from the existing classical protocols. 

It encompasses a wide range of applications, including Shor's algorithm for prime factorization, super dense coding, secure quantum key distribution, and quantum teleportation. Other areas of focus include quantum sensing, Grover's search algorithm, quantum error correction, quantum machine learning, and quantum simulation. Quantum information processing benefits from precise control and manipulation of subatomic particles. Various physical systems, such as atoms, ions, photons, and superconducting circuits, serve as the basic building blocks for realizing these phenomena. Present state of art experiments made quantum computation possible in real life.
