Syllabus for Course:
Syllabus: Computing X
This course will investigate mathematical and algorithmic questions
underlying computations for closed and open quantum mechanical
systems. Some of the application areas we shall focus on are: quantum
computing, quantum control and design of a quantum mechanical in
silico photo-synthetic system, with the primary emphasis on the last
topic.
