EECE5653 (Introduction to Quantum Engineering) course reviews and ratings at Northeastern (NEU). Compare professors with RateMyProfessor reviews.
Introduces the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics and their applications to emerging quantum technologies such as quantum computation, secure quantum communications, and quantum-enhanced sensing. Covers the description of simple quantum systems such as harmonic oscillators using Schrodinger’s equation and operator formalism; the use of quantum platforms such as photons to encode qubits; generating and characterizing entanglement; and the implementation of quantum circuits for quantum computation and communication algorithms such as teleportation, entanglement swapping, and factoring. Emphasizes the foundations to prepare students for research in quantum devices and their applications to quantum information sciences.
