F14ZD1 Quantum Computing

• Syllabus for 2007/2008
• Lecture notes

Quantum Computing

• Problem sheets
There will be weekly sheets with problems which you should try to solve in your own time. The problems and your solutions will then be discussed during the tutorials. You will be involved in producing model solutions as follows. At the beginning of the course you will be divided into small groups (about 4 students). Each group will be responsible for producing written solutions for one of the example sheets. I will look at your solutions and, if necessary, add comments before giving copies to the class.
