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 |
