mine the position of the particle at any given time: x (t). Once we know that, we can figure out the velocity (v = dx/dt), the momentum (p = mv), the kinetic energy. (T = (1/2)mv*), or any other dynamical variable of interest. And how do we go about

CS378/M375T/PHY341 Introduction to Quantum Information Science Scott Aaronson TAs: Patrick Rall and Corey Ostrove UT Austin, Spring 2017 Tuesdays and Thursdays 2-3:30PM, Burdine Hall 130 This is a new undergraduate-level introduction to the theory of quantum computing and information. We'll cover the rules of quantum mechanics (qubits, unitary transformations, density matrices, measurements); quantum gates and circuits; entanglement; the Bell inequality; protocols for teleportation, quantum key distribution, and other tasks; basic quantum algorithms such as Shor's and Grover's; basic quantum complexity theory; basic quantum error correction; decoherence and the measurement problem; and the challenges of building scalable quantum computers. Previous exposure to quantum mechanics is not required.
