Introduction to Quantum Information at the Mathematical Institute of Oxford
University, Hilary Term 2023. Some basic familiarity with Dirac notation is
assumed. For the readers of Quantum in Pictures (QiP) who have some basic
quantum background, these notes also constitute the shortest path to an
explanation of how what they learn in QIP relates to the traditional quantum
formalism.
