Seminar in Quantum Computing

This is a new seminar class introduced in Spring'26, open to all graduate students interested in the state of the art in Quantum Computing.  We will read papers covering different aspects of quantum information and computation, such as quantum complexity, quantum algorithms, models of quantum computation, quantum cryptography, quantum logic, quantum networking, and quantum sensing.

Each student is expected to present and lead the discussion on a selected paper and any background work needed to understand it. Each student will be guided on selecting the paper to present.

Instructors: Himanshu Gupta, Omkant Pandey, Supartha Poddar,  C. R. Ramakrishnan, and Nengkun Yu

Registration:
