O: Introduction
I) Classical Gates: What is gate classical gate, and how many functions can we compute with limited resources?
II) Classical Information Theory: How can information be send with a noisy device. A first glance at Shannon's model of noisy channels, and the background we need from probability. In particular, we will discuss joint distributions and independence.
III) Normed spaces and linear maps: Basic definitions and examples, norm of linear maps, convex sets and extreme points.
IV) Hilbert spaces, unitaries and densities: We discuss differen norms on the space of matrices and positive definite matrices.
V) Quantum gates, measurements, entanglement, purification and fidelity.
VI) Entropy, classical and quantum, mutual information, equiparititon theorem.
VII) Quantum channels, Stinespring theorem, complementary channel, Data processing inequality.
VIII) Capacity (with entanglement)
IX) Qauntum devices beating classical ones.
