Introduction to Quantum Computing Link to heading

PhD in Physics | 1.5 ECTS | Spring Semester

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to quantum computing. Students learn the fundamentals of qubits, quantum gates, and quantum circuits, along with an overview of existing quantum hardware architectures. Key topics include current challenges in quantum computing, such as circuit compilation and error mitigation, as well as major quantum algorithms, including Shor’s algorithm, Grover’s algorithm, QAOA, and quantum machine learning. Additional modules introduce the use of quantum simulators and real quantum computers, quantum computational complexity, quantum cryptography, quantum error correction, and quantum annealing.

Marco Baioletti

University of Perugia

Marco Baioletti is an associate professor of Computer Science in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Perugia. His research focuses on combinatorial optimisation using metaheuristics, the treatment of uncertainty in artificial intelligence, and quantum computing. In the latter area he is particularly interested in quantum circuit compilation, variational algorithms for combinatorial optimisation, and applications of quantum annealing to information-representation problems (argumentation) and optimisation.

Triangulum — Quantum Computing Platform

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Triangulum is a quantum computer based on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Quantum Computer, NMRQC). In this architecture, the spin states of atomic nuclei within a molecule are used as qubits. The manipulation and readout of quantum states are performed using nuclear magnetic resonance techniques.

The probe molecule selected for this system is trifluoroiodoethylene (C₂F₃I), in which the three fluorine atoms act as qubits. Fluorine is particularly well suited for this purpose because it possesses a single stable isotope, ¹⁹F, characterized by a nuclear spin of 1/2. The coupling between the three fluorine nuclei is exploited to generate quantum entanglement among the qubits.
