COSC 210 - Quantum Mechanics for Computer Scientists

3 credits
This course introduces computer science majors to quantum mechanics. Concepts of quantum wave functions, Heisenberg uncertainty, probabilities, superposition states and entanglement, and the qubit will be covered. The use of quantum states and quantum operators as fundamental tools, including utilization of matrices will be part of this course. The quantum nature of atoms and photons will be considered, including lasers and their interaction with matter.
