I am going to list everybody on the first poster as co-author(s).

Materials to be discussed in class today:

• three notebooks
• a template
• exercises

See you soon (in Zoom or in person)!

Sun July 6

I am posting this here with the intent of serving as goal-setting (so, as a target).

Updated teleportation circuit implementation based on Barry Burd's:

That was the setup and this is the experiment:

Note that the probability amplitudes of the qubit to be teleported are random, but real.

Sat July 05

One poster is almost done, will share with everybody on Monday.

The second poster should be developed together (in class) by Wednesday.

One challenge (optional but recommended) is Qiskit implementation.

The challenge there is the classical control of the Z and X gates.

But we have a good model in Chapter 5 of Burd's book for that.

So I am posting tomorrow a revised plan for the lectures this coming week.

There will be reading assignments from Barry Burd's book posted here, too.

Fri July 04
