Description: Quantum information science and engineering (QISE) have been rapidly developed amid the global quantum research effort on quantum computing, communication, simulation and sensing. Development and innovation in these quantum applications necessitate understanding of the core concepts of the quantum information science and knowledge of leading physical platforms for implementation.This course will serve the purpose to introduce the physics and engineering aspects of quantum information processing systems. The course will be divided into four parts, starting with an introduction of concepts and basic ingredients for quantum information processing. The second part will focus on qubit operations, utilizing simplified two-level systems for discussions of atom-field interaction and coherent state manipulations. Part three will cover leading physical platforms for quantum information processing, including trapped ions, neutral atoms, solid-state spins, and superconducting qubits. In the last part, extended topics about applications of quantum information will be discussed if time permits, such as quantum communications, quantum repeaters, and quantum error correction. Recommended Prerequisite(s): Quantum mechanics
