Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

1.1.1 Introduction to Module 1: Working with Single Qubits

Course subject(s) Module 1: Working with Single Qubits

To introduce quantum information, we need to start with its fundamental unit, the quantum bit or qubit. In the first part of the course, we will learn about the mathematical formalisms and properties of single qubit states. Arjen Vaartjes will guide you through the basics with the help of a whiteboard and basic examples. You will also find a few text-based sections about relevant topics for quantum information such as expectation values and the no-cloning theorem.

For this module the following topics will be necessary:

You can check the material linked above to refresh your memory or later on during the course if you feel that you need it.

The five sections in this module mark the beginning of our journey through the fundamentals of quantum information. We hope you find these lectures exciting and enlightening!
