PHYSICS OF INFORMATION THEORY
PHYS 4075 | 3.0 Credits | UG
This course will offer fundamental concepts of physics that forms information and computation theories. The first part of this course is an overview of information theory. The concept of entropy and negative entropy in Thermodynamics and Information will be discussed. Then, noise in electric communication will be treated as a stochastic process. The second part of this course is an introduction to quantum computation and information. Mathematical background of quantum mechanics will be overviewed for the theoretical background of quantum computation/information. Experimental feasibility will be also discussed with recent development. It will provide students with fundamental knowledge of classical and quantum computation/information.
