Cíle předmětu
This is an introductory course to quantum information. The main goal is to provide students with basic idea what are the expected applications of quantum information processing, how quantum computing and communication works, and give them practical experience how to program quantum computer. All programming will be performed using Python language and IBM Quiskit library.


As a part of the course we want students to become comfortable with basic mathematics necessary for quantum information processing. While you already know almost all necessary mathematics from prerequisite courses, there is a big difference between knowing something and being able to use it an intuitive and efficient way.


The course is designed in the way that it introduces in a parallel way basic quantum information applications, necessary mathematical concepts and teaches how to implement these applications on quantum computers. As an example, on second lecture you will learn about BB84 quantum key distribution. On this concept we will explain what quantum state is, what is a quantum measurement, and we will learn how to implement BB84 using the Quiskit Python library. In this way we avoid boring monothematical blocks of mathematics.


This course will be in future followed by two advanced courses. The second course will introduce all necessary concepts of quantum information processing – necessary concepts from mathematics, physics and informatics, so that student will have all theoretical knowledge necessary to work with quantum information processing. The third course will explain the applications of quantum information processing in full scale – communication, algorithms, cryptography, NP-approximation, machine learning, simulation of physical and chemical systems.

    Výukové metody
    Theoretical lectures, practical examples in tutorials, programming
    Metody hodnocení
    4 written mini-tests during tutorials (20 points together)


    Correctly solve blackboard tasks during tutorials (cca 15 points)


    Final test: written test+programming given task (70 points)


    Tutorial attendance mandatory: not attending 1 tutorial no penalty, 2 tutorials 5 point penalty, 3 or more 10 point penalty. Penalty is subtracted only from the pass/fail limit, it does not ifluence the grade (e.g. C vs. D).
