Organisation and examination :
 |
| Teaching in the first semester, review in January |
 |
Course contents :
 |
| The course begins with an Introduction to classical Boolean logic and to quantum logic. Then, the different approaches aiming at implementing logic machines at the molecular level are reviewed : (i) Molecular electronics, (ii) Implementation of logic operation by software, (ii) Implementation of concatenated logic gates at the hadware level, (iii) quantum computing. Several concrete examples are discussed : molecular combinations circuits, finite state molecular machines, implementation of search algorithms. |
 |
Learning outcomes of the course :
 |
| Fundamentals of (i) Molecular logic Classical and quantal (ii) Logic machines : Combinational circuits and finite state machines (iii) Quantum computing (iv) search algorithm |
 |
