This course offers an introduction to quantum information processing. It covers the fundamental concepts including superposition, entanglement, state preparation, unitary and non-unitary evolution, and quantum measurements. Various quantum algorithms like quantum teleportation, superdense coding, the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm, the Shor algorithm, and the Grover algorithm are further discussed. Quantum error-correction coding schemes based on the stabilizer formalism are introduced to enhance the reliability of these algorithms. Standard mathematical and diagrammatic tools are introduced for describing the relevant objects and processes.

Advisory note: Solid understanding of linear algebra is required.
Pre-knowledge of quantum mechanics, graphical models, information theory, and coding theory is useful but is not required; relevant materials from these topics are introduced where required to make the course self-contained.
