Lecture Nine.

Two notebooks for today:

This weekend let's setup the meetings for next week.

Questions I'd like you to prepare for then:

  1. What's a Bell state?
  2. What's a GHZ state?
  3. What's superposition?
  4. What's phase?
  5. What's interference?
  6. How many types of interference do we have?
  7. What's phase kickback?
  8. What's the Bloch sphere?
  9. What's the Bernstein-Vazirani algorithm?
  10. What's the Deutsch-Josza algorithm?
  11. What one-qubit gates do you know?
  12. What are their matrices?
  13. What two-qubit gates do you know?
  14. What are their matrices?
  15. Can you translate these misty states in standard notation?
  16. Can you add in the same picture the transitions for the Z gate?
  17. What's the most challenging part of the diagnostic quiz in your opinion?

This list is just to have something to talk about.

Any other topic, or questions/comments from you, most welcome.
