Hi,

You are allowed to bring to the exam two written pages, stapled together.

I will hold a two hour office hour on Tuesday, 14.02.12 12:30-14:30 at my office, physics 308.
You can also contact me pretty much every day, if you have questions.

Good luck with your studying :)

work on hw 1-2 at my office on Sunday or later. Please read carefully the remarks and let
me know if anything is not clear.

If you have any questions on the material or on anything else that I may assist you in, you are
welcomed to contact me. I will hold an office hour sometime before the exam, however feel

Good luck with your exams :)

Correction to hw 4!
I truly apologize, however thanks to a question someone asked me I spotted
a mistake in hw4 (due for today).

In question #1, second task, A,B,C,D don't need to be single qubit operators, they
can be any 2X2 matrices.

I'm sorry if you spent time on that, you can hand hw4 in next week.

Have a nice weekend,
Dikla

You can hand in your hw either by mail (diklao@tx) or to my box in the physics
department (Dikla Caspi, you can find it in the entrance floor on the way to the caffe).

If you prefer not to go all the way to the physics department, please let me know and we'll
work something out.

If you have troubles with the problem set, you can contact me by mail or come to my office hour,
which is held on Wednesday, 15:30, physics 308.

Good luck with the hw :)

For students interested in "Project in NMR Quantum Computing"
Several students showed interest in a new course called
"Project in NMR Quantum Computing" (3 points).

The course will open THIS semester, but with a temporary name:
"Project in Advanced Programming" (3 points).

More details will be published soon on the boards of the faculties,
and also here.
