Also, please do not distribute copies of the book outside the class.

Please send any comments you may have on it to me (DG). The textbook (a work in progress), Surviving as a Quantum Computer in a Classical World, will be available in class. Shor, Steane, and Knill quantum error correction.Bounds on quantum error-correcting codes.Scrambling and Hayden-Preskill ( PIRSA:18030011).Bravyi-Konig bound, locally definable states ( PIRSA:18030010).Topological phases, color codes ( PIRSA:18030009).Magic state injection and distillation, level reduction, and the threshold theorem ( PIRSA:18020010).Definition of fault tolerance, Shor error correction and measurement, Steane error correction and measurement ( PIRSA:18020009).Clifford group continued, basic model of fault tolerance, transversal gates ( PIRSA:18010050).Qudit stabilizer codes, bounds on QECCs, Clifford group ( PIRSA:18010049).Quantum channels, quantum error-correcting codes, the 9-qubit code, and the QECC conditions.The final project will consist of a paper and presentation of material from research papers on a topic related to the subject of the class.

Grading: 70% of the grade will come from problem sets (suitably processed) and 30% from the final project.
