After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand and apply the fundamental concepts in quantum information science. Specifically, the students will acquire the necessary theoretical skills for

(1) formally describing quantum information systems,

(2) identifying, characterising and applying entanglement in quantum technologies, 

(3) mastering the paradigmatic protocols for quantum communication, quantum computation and quantum cryptography, and

(4) implementing simple quantum circuits on a real quantum computer (IBMq)
