Preparation and learning goals

Entry requirements

Introductory circuits and linear algebra; basic Python for practical exercises.

What you will work towards

Distinguish physical and logical errors and explain why protecting arbitrary quantum states requires more than classical repetition.

The practical task asks you to apply the concepts, justify your choices and communicate the assumptions and limits of your result.

Course outline

MODULE 01

Noise and Pauli errors

MODULE 02

repetition codes and their limits

MODULE 03

syndrome extraction and logical information

The outline defines this course’s intended scope. The detailed teaching sequence and preparation materials will be confirmed for the agreed delivery.

Practical work

A simulated repetition-code exercise with explicit error assumptions and a discussion of errors the code cannot correct.

Technical work is based on simulation, calculation or protocol analysis. Hardware access and laboratory sessions require a separately confirmed arrangement.

Assessment and feedback

The proposed review criteria are conceptual accuracy, a defensible method, clear evidence and appropriate treatment of assumptions and uncertainty.

Assessment format and feedback arrangements will be agreed before booking. No accreditation or external certification is claimed.

Discuss delivery and preparation

This is a course outline available for enquiry. Instructor, dates, duration, delivery format, fees and any hardware requirements will be confirmed in a written proposal before a booking is made.
