Students are welcome to email their questions to [email protected] Advising Resources: https://www.uvic.ca//undergrad/advising-services/index.php... Summer 2020 Registration Information Registration for the summer session opens the week of March 16, 2020. Courses offered by the Department of Computer Science can be found on our web site (https://www.uvic.ca//compu/undergraduate/courses/index.php) or the online timetable (https://www.uvic.ca/BAN1P/bwckschd.p_disp_dyn_sched). Third and fourth year Computer Science and Software Engineering courses are restricted to students in a Computer Science (including Combined) or Engineering program. Permission to take a 3rd or 4th year CSC or SENG course may be granted if space is still available after all students in a Computer Science or BSENG program have registered. Applications to request permission to register in a 3rd or 4th year CSC or SENG course can be submitted online at: https://heat.csc.uvic.ca/cacreg/

There are still seats available in the following Spring 2021 courses: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instructors: Dr. Ulrike Stege ([email protected]) and Dr. Hausi Muller ([email protected]) TPCS: COMP SYSTEM+SOFTWARE: Quantum Algorithms and Software Engineering - 23837 - CSC 586A - A01 Course Description: This graduate Quantum Computing course focuses on the theory and implementation of quantum algorithms including its challenges... and opportunities for quantum software developers and software engineers. Course objectives include: (1) quantum computation: understanding the fundamentals of quantum information and computation, including superposition, entanglement, measurement, quantum gates & circuits (such as super-dense coding and teleportation); and fundamental results, such as the no-cloning theorem; (2) complexity: understanding of classical and quantum complexity classes and their relations; (3) quantum algorithms: including DeutschJozsa, Grover, Shor, and quantum walks; (4) building blocks: variational quantum algorithms (VQA) for optimization and simulation problems, including quantum phase estimation (QPE), variational quantum eigensolvers (VQE), solving linear equations, and quantum approximate optimization algorithms (QAOA); and (5) quantum software engineering and hybrid quantum-classical problem-solving, including algorithm design, data management, problem decomposition, circuit design, software infrastructure, tool integration, and debugging using real-world quantum development kits (QDK). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instructor: Dr. Valerie King ([email protected]) TOPICS IN ALGORITHMS: Collective Decision Making - 23855 - CSC 482A - A01 TPCS: THEORETICAL C SC: Collective Decision Making - 23856 - CSC 582A - A01 Topics in Algorithms: Collective Decision-making. We will study a variety of algorithmic approaches for helping agents come to a collective decision. Topics may include voting and fair division, algorithmic mechanism design, such as auctions, and distributed agreement protocols like Byzantine agreement and blockchain, and considerations of justice and fairness. The course will assume a solid knowledge of algorithms and proof techniques, and an understanding of NP completeness and elementary probability (A- or higher in csc 226 or 425 or 423 or 429 AND an A- in 320 for undergrads and for grads, an A- in 520, 523, or 529 or professor's permission.)

SPECIAL TOPICS IN PHYSICS: Introduction to Quantum Computing - 22388 - PHYS 280 - A02 https://www.uvic.ca/BAN1P/bwckschd.p_disp_detail_sched The quantum computing course will give an elementary introduction to quantum mechanics - particularly two-level systems, their entanglement and manipulation - and describe how to use them to design simple quantum algorithms. The course includes an experiential learning component where students will get to submit jobs to the IBM-Q and D-...Wave Leap quantum clouds. We expect this course will be of particular interest to students in Physics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Computer Science.
