Coursera
KAIST / Joonwoo Bae
KAIST's beginning-graduate-level introduction to quantum information, taught by Joonwoo Bae. Covers qubits, the axioms of quantum theory, entanglement as a resource, quantum teleportation, gates, circuits, and quantum communication channels.
IQC Faculty, University of Waterloo
Graduate quantum information at the University of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing. Courses on information, cryptography, and error correction.
Dr. Daniel Gottesman, Perimeter Institute
Daniel Gottesman's graduate-level quantum information lecture series recorded at Perimeter Institute. Fifteen recorded lectures covering entanglement, channels, error correction, and cryptography. Freely available on PIRSA.
Prof. Isaac Chuang and Prof. Aram Harrow, MIT
MIT's graduate-level follow-on to QIS I, covering quantum states and noise, advanced quantum algorithms, and quantum information theory. Free on the MIT Open Learning Library with graded exercises.
ETH Zurich Physics Department
ETH Zurich's graduate quantum information theory course covering quantum channels, entropy, capacity theorems, and quantum Shannon theory.
Learn to simulate realistic quantum noise in PyQuil using Kraus operators, depolarizing channels, and T1/T2 decoherence models. Compare ideal and noisy Bell state results on the QVM.
The formal framework for describing any quantum operation: CPTP maps, Kraus operators, the Choi matrix, and how common noise channels (depolarising, amplitude damping, phase damping) are expressed mathematically.
