Introduction to quantum computing (CMSC457/PHYS457, Spring 2021)
An introduction to the concept of a quantum computer, including algorithms that outperform classical computation and methods for performing quantum computation reliably in the presence of noise. As this is a multidisciplinary subject, the course will cover basic concepts in theoretical computer science and physics in addition to introducing core quantum computing topics.
Special Topics in Computer Science; Quantum boot camp (CMPH499F/CMSC488A/ENEE489F/PHYS499F, Fall 2021)
Designed for computer science, engineering and mathematics majors. Introduces basic concepts and techniques widely used in quantum information science.
Introduction to Quantum Information Processing (CMSC657, Fall 2021)
An introduction to the field of quantum information processing. Students will be prepared to pursue further study in quantum computing, quantum information theory, and related areas.
Introduction to Quantum Technology (PHYS467, Fall 2021)
Investigates the physical systems used to implement quantum computers. Covers basics of atomic clocks, laser interferometers, quantum key distribution, quantum networks, and three types of qubits (ion-based, superconductor-based, and semiconductor-based).

Advanced Topics in Theory of Computing; Classical and Quantum Codes (CMSC858Q/PHYS889C, Spring 2022)
The course will cover topics in classical and quantum coding theory from the unified perspective of protecting information in classical communication and supporting fault-tolerant computations in quantum computers. Topics in classical codes include: Reed-Solomon codes, codes on algebraic curves, Reed-Muller codes, polar codes, rank metric codes. Topics in quantum codes include: stabilizer codes, CSS codes, GKP codes, polynomial codes, toric code.
Research Interactions in Mathematics (RIT on Quantum Information) (MATH489/689, Spring 2022)
In this seminar, we are interested in all aspects of research at the intersection between quantum information science and mathematics. Goals for talks include:
Studying recent research results in quantum information from a mathematical angle;
Finding examples (old and new) in which existing tools from mathematics can be adapted for application in quantum information;
Studying quantum algorithms for mathematical problems.
