Assignment to Modules

Further Information

Courses are together with exams the building blocks for modules. Please keep in mind that information on the contents, learning outcomes and, especially examination conditions are given on the module level only – see section "Assignment to Modules" above.

additional remarks Quantum computation, quantum communication, and quantum cryptography are all high-level forms of quantum information processing. This course will introduce and analyze the basic building blocks of quantum information processing from a mathematical perspective. Beginning with the abstract foundations of quantum theory, the course will deal with quantum measurement theory, the description, steering and application of quantum evolutions, quantum statistical inference, and quantum tomography. One of the main aims of the course is to develop a better understanding of the fundamental limits of quantum information processing concerning speed, disturbance, precision, heat production and the use of other resources.
