“Quantum Mechanics in Nanoscience and Engineering”- Prof. Uri Peskin

The book goes from basic quantum mechanics to phenomena and processes in the “real world” (Thermal, wet, dense etc). The book covers most of the topics in elementary courses of introduction to QM and quantum chemistry, as well as some advanced topics (e.g., open quantum systems, charge and energy transport, etc) The pedagogical attitude formulates much of the technical steps as questions/guided exercises. Just reading these exercises already gives a flavor of the underlying proofs, for “easy” reading. More rigorous students would probably want to actively solve the exercises or follow the

Prof. Israel Klich (University of Virginia): "Swaps, displacements, non-stabilizerness and entanglement"

In this talk, I will present a beautiful—yet seemingly little-known—relation that expresses the SWAP operator in quantum mechanics as an average over Heisenberg-Weyl displacements. This relation holds for qubits, qudits, and even continuous-variable systems in quantum optics.

Gefen Baranes (MIT and Harvard University) :"Designing Fault-Tolerant Scalable Blind Quantum Computation: Architecture and Experiment"

Blind quantum computing (BQC) allows a client to delegate quantum computations to a server while keeping both data and algorithms private. However, practical BQC faces major challenges when scaling to fault-tolerant regimes due to losses, overhead, and limited client capabilities.
