Computing & Advanced Topics
This is a sub-hub for the graduate-level and applied material that extends the core formalism. None of it is a linear prerequisite for the earlier pages — the four pages below are reference-grade deep dives, each self-contained. Start with Quantum Computing for the applied story, or Advanced Formalism for the underlying mathematics. Full descriptions are in the table below.
What These Pages Cover
| Section | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Quantum Computing | Qubits, gates, Shor/Grover/VQE/QAOA, error correction, NISQ-era hardware |
| Advanced Formalism | Hilbert space theory, spectral theorem, density matrices, path integrals, coherent/squeezed states, Lindblad dynamics, Dirac equation |
| Computational Methods | Exact diagonalization, tensor networks/DMRG, quantum Monte Carlo, time-dependent simulation, QuTiP code |
| Research Frontiers | Many-body theory, Berry phases, topological matter, measurement-induced phenomena, quantum thermodynamics, biology, foundations |
