| | 15 | **Summary:** |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | Would you like to create (virtual) qubits and perform measurements on them using Python? Perhaps even explore entanglement and quantum teleportation? If so, this tutorial is for you! |
| | 18 | |
| | 19 | No previous quantum mechanics experience required. It will be helpful to be comfortable with Python and only a little scared of matrix multiplication. |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | **Detailed description** |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | The goal of the talk is for everyone to: |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | * Understand what a qubit is |
| | 26 | * Be able to create a 1-qubit state |
| | 27 | * Be able to measure a 1-qubit state |
| | 28 | * Be able to create a 2-qubit state |
| | 29 | * Be able to create an entangled 2-qubit state |
| | 30 | * Be able to measure part of an entangled state |
| | 31 | * Be able to teleport part a qubit using an entangled state |
| | 32 | |
| | 33 | To each of these please add "in Python with QuTiP" and "with a good understanding of what they're doing". |
| | 34 | |
| | 35 | The target audience is people who are: |
| | 36 | |
| | 37 | * interested in quantum mechanics but are not experts |
| | 38 | * comfortable with Python basics |
| | 39 | * only a little scared of matrix multiplication (have learnt it at some point, even if they don't remember it well now) |
| | 40 | |
| | 41 | QuTiP and Python are pretty good at doing lots of matrix multiplication, so don't worry to much if you don't quite meet the last requirement! ;) |
