Two new Classes on QUANTUM COMPUTING were developed at UC during the Academic Year 2003-2004.

Early 2002, several faculty members in the ECECS Dept. and Physics Department at UC engaged in a joint venture to train undergraduate and graduate students at UC in the rapidly burgeoning field of Quantum Computing. The list of the faculty involved and a link to their website is given below. One class on quantum computing has been offered at UC ever since: ECES 622 (Introduction to Quantum Computing, also listed as PHYS-622) in the Winter quarter. Sometimes, it is followed by ECES 753 (Special Topics in Quantum Computing, also listed as PHYS-623). Given below are links to several websites dealing with the topics of Quantum Computing. If you have any comments about this website, feel free to send an email to marc.cahay@uc.edu
The faculty involved in the development of the classes are

  • M. Cahay (ECECS Dept) - phone: 64754
  • C. Purdy (ECECS Dept) - phone: 61810
  • G. Purdy (ECECS Dept) - phone: 61811
  • A. Ralescu (ECECS Dept) - phone: 64752
  • P. Esposito (Physics) - phone: 60636
  • P. Argyres (Physics) - phone: 60459
  • B. Goodman (Physics) - phone: 60537

    !!!!!!!!!!CLASSROOM HAS BEEN SWITCHED TO BA 643 starting FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!
    Homework 1. Due via email by Jan.13 by 5p.m
    Now that you had a brief intro to the field of quantum computing,
    choose ONLY ONE of the 14 topics (or another topic of interest) and do a web search
    to find some new links on that topics. Upgrade the corresponding html file
    to list the new sites and send me the copy of your new .html file.
    I will then upload your .html file on my webpage.

    Starting with hwk2 (see link below) you will work homeworks as a team. Considereing the large number of students in the class, please form teams of 3 people and send me an email with the list of the people and their email addresses as soon as possible. Keep the same team for all hwks or assigned projects
