Plans for the week of February 9-13

Dear all, welcome back to FYS5419/9419. And please excuse me for this late notice.

This week we plan to (see slides at https://github.com/CompPhysics/QuantumComputingMachineLearning/blob/gh-pages/doc/pub/week4/ipynb/week4.ipynb):

Start with a reminder from last week on Entanglement, entropy and density matrices

Discuss one-qubit and two-qubit gates, background and realizations, see also PDF file?https://github.com/CompPhysics/QuantumComputingMachineLearning/blob/gh-pages/doc/pub/week4/pdf/gates.pdf.? This file has figures which are more difficult to run properly with a jupyter-notebook.

Simple Hamiltonian systems and start discussion of project 1. Project 1 is now ready and can be found at https://github.com/CompPhysics/QuantumComputingMachineLearning/tree/gh-pages/doc/Projects/2026/Project1.? This week we will discuss mainly exercises a-b.?

Introduction to qiskit (for exercise sessions). See notes at?https://github.com/CompPhysics/QuantumComputingMachineLearning/blob/gh-pages/doc/pub/week4/ipynb/qiskit.ipynb.? These slides are meant as background only.

Readings

For the discussion of one-qubit, two-qubit and other gates, sections 2.6-2.11 and 3.1-3.4 of Hundt's book?Quantum Computing for Programmers, contain most of the relevant information.

Cya all soon and best wishes,

Carl Fredrik and Morten
