This course is for students who intend to partake theoretical or experimental research in any area of photonic quantum information processing, such as quantum communications, sensing and computation. The course will be aimed at developing a principled understanding of classical and non-classical light, and the generation, manipulation and detection of non-classical light. As application of material learnt in the course, examples will be drawn from important applications of photonic quantum information processing, such as linear optical quantum computing, quantum repeaters for entanglement distribution, and quantum sensing.

GRD - Regular Grades A, B, C, D, E

Graduate

Knowledge of complex numbers, linear algebra, Fourier transforms, probability, random processes, and quantum physics recommended. Prospective students who have not taken an a quantum physics course should consult with instructor.
