OBS students! This is old (but still interesting) webpage of the Quantum Computing course given 2010
for the first time in Lund University by me, Professor Sergei Silvestrov.
The new web page of the course (given again in Spring 2012)
has been created by Professor Viktor Ufnarovski who teaches the course now.
Please visit that page for any current information connected to the course.
Enjoy!!! bellow
the old 2010 version of web page of the course Quantum Computing given for the
first time in Lund University by me, Professor Sergei Silvestrov in 2010.
You can still find some interesting information on this page with usefull links related to
Quantum computing and to Quantum computing courses given at some other places in the World, etc ... !

Kursbeskrivning
(Svenska) Kursen behandlar den nya och
snabbt expanderande område kvantberäkningar (kvantdator beräckningar).
Kvantdator beräkningar och kvantdator algoritmer använder kvantmekaniska
principer som löser uppgifter långt utöver kapacitet av de konventionella
datorberäkningar och algoritmer. Matematiskt uppnås detta genom en kombination
av metoder från matristeori, geometri och diskret matematik. Syftet med kursen
är att förklara de viktigaste begrepp, metoder, algoritmer och tillämpningar av
kvantberäkningar. Kursen är på nivå av doktorander och avancerade studenter
inom teknik och naturvetenskap.
Course description
(English) This course deals with the new and quickly
expanding field of quantum computation. Quantum computations and
algorithms use quantum mechanical principles and allow solving tasks far beyond
capabilities of conventional computing. Mathematically this is achieved through
combination of methods from matrix theory, geometry and discrete mathematics.
The aim of the course is to explain the main notions, methods, algorithms and
applications of quantum computations. The course is on the level of PhD
students and advanced undergraduate students in Engineering and Natural
Sciences.
