Quantum computing

Medina MAHREZ — 2021-09-15T12:38:40Z

Enseignants : Thomas Ayral
nombre d'ECTS : 3
Langue d'enseignement : Anglais
Evaluation : Written
Description :
The goal of this course is to introduce the main concepts and challenges of quantum computing. We will review both the theoretical premises and promises of ideal quantum computers, and the practical challenges that one faces when one actually runs quantum programs on today's physical quantum computers : what is the role of decoherence ? how does one deal with it in practical (...)

"Physics Now" Seminars 2021/2022

Medina MAHREZ — 2021-09-06T08:33:20Z

Having a broad view of the main current research topics is difficult but crucial to choose
the internship and PhD subjects, and more generally the research directions in physics.
During the first semester, a series of seminars “Physics Now” will allow the M2 ICFP students
to broad their knowledge on the current hot topics in physics and get information on
research groups and themes in France and abroad.
Seminars are organised for each program ; students of one program are welcome to (...)

Quantum Information

Medina MAHREZ — 2021-07-19T06:43:58Z

Enseignant : Jérôme Estève Chargé de TD : ECTS : 6 Langue d'enseignement : Anglais Examination : Written (3h) Site web
Description
Progress in experimental quantum physics has transformed thought experiments into reality, so that an exciting new question can now be asked : How can we harness the "strange" features of quantum mechanics - such as nonlocality, entanglement, and quantum measurement - in new applications ? In this new field, broadly called “quantum technologies”, new ideas and (...)

Enseignant : Jesper Jacobsen
ECTS : 3
Langue d'instruction : Anglais
Modalité d'évaluation : écrit
Description :
Ce cours est une introduction aux phénomènes critiques géométriques aléatoires et leurs description par des techniques algébriques et probabilistiques et par des théories des champs quantiques. Les principaux sujets d'étude sont des objets étendus invariants conformes, tels que les amas de percolation, les parois dans les systèmes de spins et les marches auto-évitantes.
