In the coming Spring 2025 semester, I will be teaching a course on current research topics in quantum information and computation.

Title: CS 6104: Adv. Topics in Theory of Computation: Frontiers in Quantum Information and Computation

Description: After an introduction into the basics of quantum information and computation, I plan to cover topics of current research such as: entanglement theory (including the concept of pseudo-entanglement), learning theory of quantum states and processes (hypothesis testing, (shadow) tomography); quantum communication in theory and practice (quantum repeaters, multipartite entanglement distribution, entanglement distillation); and noise in (random) quantum circuits.

There will be a combination of lectures and student-led presentations.

The course can be taken for a grade or on a pass-fail basis.

If you are interested, please register! And if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at skhatri@vt.edu.

Thanks!
