Courses

Analytical mechanics (for SPH)

This course offers an introduction to analytical mechanics. It introduces the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms, emphasizing their ability to simplify the description of constrained systems, symmetries, and conservation laws. Numerous examples of applications are presented.

Quantum computing

This course introduces quantum computing, starting with quantum mechanics and information theory. It covers the quantum circuit model, universal gates, foundational quantum algorithms, noise, quantum error correction, NISQ quantum algorithms, and an overview of recent progress.
