EEC 148: Quantum Computing

Offered since Winter 2022 as a special topics course in Electrical and Computer Engineering, this course is aimed at sophomore and junior students with interest in quantum computing who are familiar with the basics of linear algebra such as vector spaces and matrix manipulations. The learning goals include understand differences between classical and quantum information, introduction of quantum mechanical concepts of superposition and entanglement, quantum circuit design, coding in Qiskit, algorithm execution on quantum cloud computers, team work and presentation of interdisciplinary final projects.

EEC 241Q: Quantum Information Technologies

Offered in Electrical and Computer Engineering since Winter 2020, this course aims to introduce QIST concepts and mathematical formalism, operating principles of quantum hardware, coding in Qiskit, algorithm execution on quantum cloud computers, team work and presentation of final projects in quantum computation, communication or sensing. The course was developed in collaboration with IBM Quantum, that provided quantum hardware access to students and a guest lecture, and the UC Davis Center for Educational Effectiveness, that helped planning and assessment of the active learning modules.

EEC298: Quantum Information Science and Technology (QuIST) Colloquium

This is an interdisciplinary speaker series, intended for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in engineering and science departments. Colloquia aim to provide a window to research topics pursued internationally by renowned researchers, as well as on campus by UC Davis faculty.
