- Abstract: This report explains the basic theory and common terminology of quantum
physics without assuming any knowledge of physics. It was written by a group of
applied mathematicians while they were reading up on the subject. The intended
audience consists of applied mathematicians, computer scientists, or anyone
else who wants to improve their understanding of quantum physics. We assume
that the reader is familiar with fundamental concepts of linear algebra,
differential equations, and to some extent the theory of Hilbert spaces. Most
of the material can be found in the book by Nielsen and Chuang and in the
lecture notes on open quantum systems by Lidar. Another excellent online source
of information is Wikipedia, even though most of its articles on quantum
physics assume a solid understanding of physics.

It starts by asking whether quantum physics is important, or weird, or incomprehensible.
It explains why particles sometimes behave like waves, and how uncertainty and randomness enter physics.
Modern topics, like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and quantum computing are also covered.

Theory of quantum electrical circuits goes under the name of circuit quantum electrodynamics or circuit-QED.
The goal of the theory is to provide a quantum description of the most relevant degrees of freedom.

The idea to use quantum mechanical devices to simulate other quantum systems is commonly ascribed to Feynman.
It may be prudent to assume exponential speedups are not generically available for this problem.

This course is designed for students who have only had basic training on quantum mechanics.
The notes are a work in progress, meaning that some proofs and many figures are still missing.
Quantum optics is a topic that no future researcher in quantum physics should miss.

The aim is to achieve a conceptually clear formulation of quantum physics with a minimum of formulas.
In order to provide students with verbal tools they can use in discussions and argumentations we formulated four "reasoning tools"
They help to facilitate qualitative discussions of quantum physics, allow students to predict quantum mechanical effects, and help to avoid learning difficulties.
