D1 - knowledge and understanding: knowledge of mechanisms at the basis of open quantum systems, quantum algorithms and techniques to mitigate errors.
D2 - applying knowledge and understanding: being able to derive the open dynamics of a two-level system in the Markovian limit. Application and basic construction of quantum algorithms. Implementation of techniques for quantum error correction.
D3 - making judgements: Being able to effectively and critically apply the acquired knowhow, choosing solutions suitable for each problem
D4 - communication skills: the ability to express the acquired know-how with a short presentation of a given problem and its possible resolution with the techniques acquired during the course.
D5 - learning skills: the ability to explore the already existing documentation and literature to find the best and most efficient approach to solving the given problem of the presence of noises in a quantum algorithm under open quantum dynamics.

Basic knowledge of Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Computing

The course is composed of four parts:

Part 1: Introduction to open quantum systems, with a focus on two-level systems and decoherence;

Part 2: Description of some algorithms of quantum computing, such as quantum optimization algorithms;

Part 3: The study of noise and decoherence effects in quantum circuits;

Part 4: The study of techniques for quantum error corrections and mitigation.

Frontal teaching

Oral exam of a duration of around 45 minutes on topics from the program chosen by the commission and a short presentation on an agreed-upon topic based on a scientific paper. Possible changes to such a procedure will be communicated via the Department website. The exams may be held in Italian or English, at the student's choice.
