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.

Course subject(s) Module 4: The power of simulation

  • On this Wikipedia page an introduction to Hamiltonians as used in Quantum Mechanics can be found.
  • A YouTube video on why calculations on Hamiltonians can be complex.
  • In the paper fromAlan Aspuru-Guzik, Anthony D. Dutoi, Peter J. Love and Martin Head-Gordon (2005) Simulated Quantum Computation of Molecular Energies in: Science, vol. 309, issue 5741, pp. 1704-1707the authors show a proof of concept.
  • this paper: PARSONS, Donald Frederick. Possible Medical and Biomedical Uses of Quantum Computing. NeuroQuantology, [S.l.], v. 9, n. 3, sep. 2011. ISSN 1303-5150. Available at: <https://www.neuroquantology.com/index.php/journal/article/view/412>. Date accessed: 22 Aug. 2018. doi:10.14704/nq.2011.9.3.412. is another interesting read on possible applications of quantum computing in medicine and other biomedical subjects.
  • A proposal from 2009 on blind quantum computation can be found here.
  • It also has already been demonstrated in this paper.
