Courses – Old
Description
I dictate different courses related to my research expertise. Some of them are listed below. If you are interested in taking any of them, do not hesitate in contacting me filling the form in the contact section.
Introduction to Quantum Computing
This is an introductory course that allows the student to gain knowledge about what quantum computing is. It is oriented to anyone who is interested in quantum computing, and requires a very elementary knowledge of linear algebra. It is specially suited for engineers and computer scientists and mathematicians, because it is designed in such a way that it is not necessary to have a deep knowldedge about quantum physics. Different versions of this course were dictated at SADIO, and part of it was included in a postgraduate course at the National University of La Plata.
Quantum Logic, Quantum Structures and Quantum Information
This course provides an introduction to quantum logic and more general quantum structures. It also deals with the geometrical aspects of quantum theory. The topics are organized in order to connect the old technical problems in the field, with more up-to-date applications to quantum information science. It was dictated in the 2019 edition of the Computer Science School (ECI) at the University of Buenos Aires. The classes are recorded and can be accessed through this link.
Foundations of Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Information Theory
This is a course focussed on the foundations of quantum theory and its different interpretations. The topics range from the description of Bell inequalities and the Kochen-Specker thorem, to information theoretic principles and the perspective offered by the different interpretations to deal with the superposition principle, the measurement problem, and the classical limit. This course was dictated as a part of a postgraduate course at the National University of La Plata.
Philosophy of Information
This course provides an introduction to the philosophical questions that lurk Shannon’s information theory and its applications. It also includes a small section devoted to quantum information theory. It was dictated as part of the PhD. program of Austral University (of which I am Adjoint Professor), in Argentina.
