Plans for the week of February 10-14

Dear all, welcome back to FYS5419/9419. 

The lecture notes for this week are at (jupyter-notebook or PDF formats)  https://github.com/CompPhysics/QuantumComputingMachineLearning/tree/gh-pages/doc/pub/week4

This week (note changes from original plan)  we plan to discuss

1. Reminder from last week on gates and circuits

2. One-qubit and two-qubit gates, background and realizations

3. Simple Hamiltonian systems of relevance for project

Readings

1. For the discussion of one-qubit, two-qubit and other gates, sections 2.6-2.11 and 3.1-3.4 of Hundt's book Quantum Computing for Programmers, contain most of the relevant information.

The exercise at the end of the weekly slides deal with a rewrite of a simple one-qubit Hamiltonian in terms of of Pauli matrices. 

Best wishes and please don't hesitate to reach out to us in case something is unclear.
