# Math 401, Fall 2025: Thesis notes, R4, Superdense coding and Quantum error correcting codes
> Progress: 0/NaN=NaN% (denominator and enumerator may change)
This part may not be a part of "mathematical" research. But that's what I initially begin with.

> A helpful resource is [The Functional Analysis of Quantum Information Theory](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1410.7188) Section 2.2

## References to begin with
### Quantum computing and quantum information
Every quantum bit is composed of two orthogonal states, denoted by $|0\rangle$ and $|1\rangle$.
Each state
$$
\varphi=\alpha|0\rangle+\beta|1\rangle
$$
where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are complex numbers, and $|\alpha|^2+|\beta|^2=1$.
### Logic gates
All the logic gates are unitary operators in $\mathbb{C}^{2\times 2}$.
Example: the NOT gate is represented by the following matrix:
$$
NOT=\begin{pmatrix}
0 & 1 \\
1 & 0
\end{pmatrix}
$$
Hadamard gate is represented by the following matrix:
$$
H=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\begin{pmatrix}
1 & 1 \\
1 & -1
\end{pmatrix}
$$
## Superdense coding
## Quantum error correcting codes
This part is intentionally left blank and may be filled near the end of the semester, by assignments given in CSE5313.
