DESCRIPTION:This is part of the short course 'Quantum Computing - Theory a
 nd Practice'\, "http://talks.cam.ac.uk/show/index/86491":http://talks.cam.
 ac.uk/show/index/86491\n\nThis course covers fundamental theoretical conce
 pts of quantum computation and quantum information will be covered. In add
 ition\, hands-on experimentation of quantum algorithms will be demonstrate
 d on actual quantum devices. Special consideration will be given to realiz
 ation of limitations of current\, non-fault tolerant quantum systems\, as 
 well as means to mitigate them when possible.\n\nSpecifically\, lecture 2 
 covers:\na. The qubit - Bloch sphere\, basis state\, superposition\, entan
 glement (Bell state example)\nb. Quantum computation - single qubit and co
 ntrolled operations\, universality\, quantum circuits (super-dense coding 
 and teleporation examples)\nc. Hands-on experimentation of quantum algorit
 hms on a quantum system via the IBM (Quantum Experience http://research.ib
 m.com/ibm-q/)\n\nThere will be a 15 minute break in the middle of the lect
 ure.\n\nIt is useful for students to have a laptop/tablet (or even a smart
 phone) for some of the more practical examples\, but this is not necessary
 . Those without computer access can follow a demo shown by the instructor.
