Courses

General physics : quanta

This course is an introduction to quantum mechanics. Starting from its historical development, the course covers the notions of quantum complementarity and uncertainty, the measurement process, the Schrödinger equation, and elements of atomic and molecular physics.

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.
