Learning Outcome
At the end of the course the student is expected to acquire an understanding of the principles of finite dimensional quantum systems and how they change the foundations of information processing, together with an overview of the main applications.
After the course the student should be able to explain and disseminate the principles as well as to start reading the literature in quantum information processing. However, the information-theoretic part, although crucial, will not be covered in the course.

Learning and Teaching Methods
In addition to the individual methods of the students, consolidated knowledge is aspired by repeated lessons in exercises and tutorials. The teaching method in the lectures is teacher-centred instruction and in the exercises work instruction.

Literature
Lecture notes are provided together with a list of alternative reading material
Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
By answering questions during an oral exam (30 min) the students prove their ability to explain the algorithms described in the course showing understanding of the quantum features behind the algorithms and mastering of the introductory material. Furthermore, the student should be able to compare the quantum algorithms to their classical counterpart. The students are allowed to bring one sheet of A4 paper with aiding notes.
Exam Repetition
The exam may be repeated at the end of the semester.
Current exam dates
Currently TUMonline lists the following exam dates. In addition to the general information above please refer to the current information given during the course.
