Master in Chemical Sciences, in-depth approach, 2nd year2
Master in Chemical Sciences, didactic approach, 2nd year2
Master in Chemical Sciences, specialized approach, 2nd year2
Lecturer :  Françoise Remacle
Language(s) of instruction :  
French language
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
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
