TITLE
Quantum mechanics for non-physicists Part I by Maximilian Böhme, CASUS

ABSTRACT
This seminar gives an introduction to the simplest non-trivial quantum system, the so-called two-level system and systematically builds up the formalism and postulates of quantum mechanics. The Stern-Gerlach experiment is shown as the prototype of the quantum-mechanical measurement process. Furthermore, the Spin ½ system is investigated as an example of a two-level system. Motivated by the violation of the physical Church-Turing thesis, a framework for computation on two-level quantum systems is presented in form of the Quantum Bit (qubit) and Quantum circuits. The next section of the talk is concerned with some interesting applications. In the last section, an overview over the possible practical implementations for a quantum computer is given.
