The basic information unit: the qubit.
Presentation through the double-split experiment;
Realization of a qubit as levels of energy in electrons and spins of photons;
The Bloch sphere and a two-dimension geometric interpretation for real coefficients.
Formal definition;
Evolution of a qubit:
Evolution of a qubit:
1) by observing qubits:
- measurements in the computational basis;
2) by unitary operations:
- properties;
- examples of unitary operations.
Tour through linear algebra and Dirac's notation.
