Semester start and plans for first week, January 20-24

Dear all, first a great welcome to FYS5419/9419 and thx so much for having chosen the course. 

All educational material is available via the GitHub repository at  https://github.com/CompPhysics/QuantumComputingMachineLearning
Furthermore, for those of you who cannot be there physically, you can attend the lectures via zoom. The link will be communicated before the semester starts. All lectures will be recorded.

The first part of the course (project 1 and till mid march) has its focus on studies of quantum-mechanical many-particle systems using quantum computing

algorithms and quantum computers. The second part is optional and depends on the interests and backgrounds of the participants. Two main

themes can be covered:

- Quantum machine learning algorithms, implementations and studies

- Realization and studies of entanglement in physical systems

The tentative plan for the spring semester 2025 is at https://github.com/CompPhysics/QuantumComputingMachineLearning/blob/gh-pages/README.md

The lecture material for the first week is at https://github.com/CompPhysics/QuantumComputingMachineLearning/tree/gh-pages/doc/pub/week1
The pdf variant is at  https://github.com/CompPhysics/QuantumComputingMachineLearning/tree/gh-pages/doc/pub/week1/pdf

For the first lecture the aim is to give a brief reminder on Linear Algebra, Hilbert Spaces, operators on Hilbert spaces, states, qubits and other definitions, in addition to get to know each other.

Best wishes to you all,
Morten and Odin
