Syllabus

This course is on the Quantum Photonics and Quantum Computing

This webpage will not be updated, and kept just for prospective students to have an idea about the course.
We have created a class Teams for this course, if you have not been added to the class Team, please email the course instructor.

Incomplete Grade Policy

In this course, you will be given an I grade, ONLY if you complete all assignments and Final Presentation, and just fail to appear in the final exam due to reasons beyond your control. You must apply to Head of the Department of EEE within 1 week of commencement of the final exam. Failure to participate either the assignments or final-presentation would not be considered for I grade, and your grading would be done through the Grading criteria. Kindly consider the policy, and withdraw from the course if you are unsure if you would continue.
