The positive aspects of this course is the technical depth. The course covers a range of key topics in quantum information from quantum gates, entanglement, quantum channels, and measurements. The materials fit a first semester graduate course on the topic.

However, I believe this course is poorly structured. First of all, the lecture videos are very jargon heavy and often new terms and concepts are introduced without any definition. The instructor is often unclear about a step and hand waves details when showing a proof or explanation. There is little to no time dedicated to motivation for certain topics. I found the videos only useful when used as a secondary source with a textbook such as “Quantum Computation and Quantum Information” by Nielsen and Chuang. (Which by the way is something I found on my own as there is no additional resources recommended by the course).

The assignments and the one exam are all multiple choice based and no explanation is given on the correct answer. While the problems are interesting, the majority are geared towards determining if you’ve watched the videos and recall certain statements or steps. Very rarely does it synthesize multiple topics together to gauge a deeper understanding of the concepts. Overall, each assignment can be completed in at most half an hour.

Overall my recommendation is to use the topics selected by the instructor as a guide to learn the topic from another source. I think that the topics are important but I do not think a student who is not already somewhat familiar with the topics will learn much from this course.

Challenging quizzes and final exam; understanding solutions to problems boosts understanding of the topic. Many topics clearly, albeit rapidly, covered.Review with self-reading contextualizes material

no intuitions or explanation given

I have some engineering/physics background but no formal training on quantum information. Am trying to understand more through self-learning.

Tried this course after going through some basic quantum computing books on qubits and gates. Found this to be useful to introduce deeper topics to me and push me to work out problems to learn some of these concepts.

Would have been nicer if Dr Bae could provide some reference answers or help in the forums as I'm still not confident that my understanding of problems was correct even though I passed the quizzes.

Good material; it would be nice to have some example calculations. In some cases, the jump from general theory to concrete calculation in the exercises is a bit large.

More clarifications could be expected in some mathematical concepts and in the notations. Some answers proposed in a few exerices seem not coherent of the right answer. This can lead to misunderstandings. Moreover, we could expect a detailed correction of the exercices when the course is paid in order to better understand the correct results and how to achieve it.

The course was challenging as an Introductory course. I had to read through books and solve problems before taking the test, as the lectures and assignments required a fair bit of formalization.

Good course for beginners to understand the basic concepts on Quantum theory and its applications in theory.

One of the best courses. It's really worth your time and it's well structured.

Prepare to spend a lot more hours to study if you really want to understand the lectures fully.

Not really worth my time. A text book would be useful to follow along with more formalism.

Unclear teaching, lot of unexplained notation. Quiz and class go unrelated. no reading material. Very poor course

that wasnt what i think

Exactly what I was looking for! A more theorical and mathematical aproach to Quantum Computing. The crystal clear whiteboard is genius!

This course helps who wants to begin learning quantum information.

It was a really great course full of effective information.

The best course ever on quantum information.

excellent course. Thanks a lot from Dr. Bae

It was an amazing course

The course was great

Overall good course

Gotei demais!!!

Excellent, very well explained and presented. Very good lecturer and teacher.

Easy to follow = Great Teacher*10

The lecture on this fascinating subject of quantum information was presented with commendable technical depth. However, there is room for enhancement in the pedagogical approach adopted. A number of terms and tools were introduced without sufficient definition or context, which could potentially lead to confusion. While viewing the lectures does not directly facilitate the completion of the individual quizzes or the final examination, it does necessitate a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. This understanding often requires the exploration of various other resources, which, although demanding, fosters a profound comprehension of the topic. Nevertheless, a stronger correlation between the lecture content and the exercises would be beneficial. The exercises themselves are far from simple, requiring a solid foundation in advanced mathematics and information theory. However, they serve as an invaluable tool in providing a thorough introduction to the field of quantum information.
