Program Description
Join Professor Pramey Upadhyaya in Japan.
Since the beginning of the 21st century, explosive advancement in our ability to apply counterintuitive principles of quantum mechanics for engineering real-world computing platforms and algorithms, is redefining information processing and computer science; as epitomized recently by Google’s demonstration of quantum supremacy—where a quantum chip has been shown to outperform classical supercomputers, in principle!!
This course aims to train students starting from the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics to understand how they can be leveraged for building quantum hardware and software, so that they can contribute to move this emerging technology forward with applications in artificial intelligence and data sciences. An important aspect will be a focus on providing hands-on experience programming real quantum systems. Particularly, we will focus on following three-levels.
Level 1: Learn the essential foundations required to understand computing models built from the principles of quantum mechanics.
Level 2: Learn how present-day material platforms are built to perform quantum information processing tasks.
Level 3: Learn domain-specific quantum algorithms and how to run them on present-day quantum hardware.
**No prior knowledge of quantum mechanics is assumed. Starting from a minimal set of engineering and science prerequisites (undergraduate- Linear Algebra, differential equation and Physics) we will focus to develop a physical and intuitive understanding of quantum computing.
Academic Credit
Students will earn 3 credits for ECE 59500.
**All students need to check with their academic advisor to see how this course can be used in their plan of study.
Eligibility
Open to all engineering students but preference given to ECE, CS, Physics and ME.
Prerequisites are: Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, and Physics.
Program Cost
Students pursuing program participation accept financial responsibility. Purdue will take measures to mitigate financial risks, although will not be liable for loss.
The estimated cost is $6,100 - $6,300. Price includes: Academic credits, all housing, ground transportation in country, all activities on the itinerary, breakfast daily, Welcome and Farewell dinner, and International Health Insurance.
Additional costs: Round-trip airfare, visa (if needed), most lunches and dinners, Passport, personal activities, and personal spending money.

Application Deadline
Students will be accepted on a rolling basis until 20 spots are filled.
Financial Aid
Purdue University financial aid may be applied to the costs of studying abroad. Students interested in receiving financial aid should
NOTE: Recipients of certain tuition remission and scholarship programs should pay careful attention to the regulations for using those benefits for study abroad. Ask your financial aid advisor about any limitations.
