Topics in Quantum Information and Computation
Quantum computing, a rapidly evolving field at the intersection of quantum mechanics and computational sciences, promises revolutionary advancements in information processing. This course introduces students to the fundamental concepts and mathematical tools required to understand quantum computation and quantum information. Starting from basic quantum principles and classical computing concepts, the course explores quantum states and measurements, logic gates and circuits, entanglement, and key information ideas such as communication protocols, teleportation, superdense coding, and quantum key distribution. Algorithmic topics and quantum hardware implementations are covered at an introductory level. Special emphasis is placed on clear conceptual understanding, mathematical rigor, and practical implications of quantum informational and computational protocols.

Lecturer Intro
He obtained his B.Sc. from Sharif University of Technology (Tehran, Iran) and his M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences (IASBS, Zanjan, Iran). Before becoming an associate professor at BIMSA, he was leading the research group, 'Many-body theory and correlated systems', at the Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics (APCTP, Pohang, Korea), and worked as a scientific researcher at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems (MPIPKS, Dresden, Germany); Ruhr University Bochum (RUB, Bochum, Germany); the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids (MPI-CPfS, Dresden, Germany); the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research (MPIFKF, Stuttgart, Germany); and the Max-Planck POSTECH Center for Complex Phase Materials (Pohang, Korea).
