| PHYS 44300 - Quantum Computing And Cryptography |
|
Credit Hours: 3.00. Quantum computing is a fast growing area of interest in the application of quantum mechanics used for problem solving. These devices work differently than traditional computers solving a smaller group of problems that are representable by quantum mechanical systems. These problems cannot be solved by traditional computers, at least in reasonable amounts of time. This course will introduce you to the concepts in quantum mechanics necessary to understand these devices and examine in detail the many types of problems these computers will tackle. Typically offered Fall Spring Summer.
3.000 Credit hours Syllabus Available Levels: Undergraduate, Graduate, Professional Schedule Types: Distance Learning, Lecture Offered By: Regional Campus Only Course Attributes: Upper Division May be offered at any of the following campuses: PU Fort Wayne Learning Outcomes: 1. Understand the application of quantum mechanics to physical systems and its relationship to measurements. 2. Demonstrate a physical understanding of the difference in operation between a digital computer and a quantum computer. 3. Know the advantages a quantum computer have over a digital computer and similarly its disadvantages. 4. Know the types of problems that can and cannot be solved using quantum computing. 5. Know basic understanding of cryptography; methods for classical encoding; strengths and weaknesses. 6. Understand quantum cryptography - how it is implemented to produce secure communication of information and how quantum computers will impact classical cryptography. |
