The Department of Physics at Presidency School of Engineering, Presidency University, is pleased to announce a Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on Quantum Computation and Information, scheduled from 22–27 June 2026 at NG01, Presidency University.

 

As quantum technologies continue to transform computing, cryptography and scientific research, there is an increasing need for educators to develop a strong understanding of the principles that underpin this rapidly evolving field. This six-day FDP has been designed to provide participants with a rigorous yet accessible introduction to quantum computation and information, equipping faculty members with the knowledge and tools required to engage students in this emerging discipline.

 

Programme Highlights

 

Participants will gain exposure to both the theoretical foundations and practical concepts of quantum computing through expert-led sessions covering:

• Mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics, including complex numbers, vectors, inner products and tensor products
• Qubits and quantum states, including superposition, the Bloch sphere, normalisation and measurement
• Quantum gates and their matrix representations, including Pauli, Hadamard and phase gates
• Quantum circuits, multi-qubit systems and the CNOT gate
• Quantum entanglement, Bell and GHZ states, quantum teleportation, superdense coding and quantum key distribution (QKD)
• Quantum algorithms, including Deutsch–Jozsa, Grover’s and Shor’s algorithms
• Measurement theory and probability interpretation
• Noise, decoherence and basic quantum error correction concepts

Resource Persons

 

The programme will be delivered by distinguished faculty members and subject experts from the Departments of Physics and Computer Science & Engineering, including:

• Dr Naveen C S
• Dr Selvaganapathy J
• Dr Srinivas Reddy
• Dr Anand Prakash
• Dr Anindita Bhattacharya
• Dr Subrata Modal
• Dr Sivasankara Reddy
• Dr Rupam Mukherjee
• Dr Charanprasanth

Their expertise spans quantum mechanics, quantum gates, quantum circuits, quantum algorithms, quantum cryptography, entanglement, quantum communication protocols, measurement theory and quantum error correction.
