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.

6.1.1 Introduction to Module 6

Course subject(s) Module 6: Wrapping up The Building Blocks of a Quantum Computer Part 2

We have now come to the end of our ascent through the layers of the quantum stack, and to the end of our discussion about the development and applications of quantum networks. Along the way, you’ve had the opportunity to ask us many questions through the forums, and we hope that you’ve found the answers enlightening.

In this final module of the course, we’ve prepared videos to respond to three questions in our “Ask Me Anything” unit in Module 3. In these responses, Ben Criger will explain how to calculate the parameters of a surface code from the frequently-used diagrams we’ve seen so far,  how we can construct small quantum Fourier transforms and where you can find software libraries to study quantum computing.

This module ends with the final exam, where we re-cap the topics we’ve covered in the course. This is preceded by a practice exam, which you can use to refresh your knowledge before taking the final.

We hope you have enjoyed this treatment of quantum computers and quantum networks.
