PSYK1320 General Psychology Course description

The teaching is organized in sessions where the subject material is presented, and in sessions where the students solve problems on their laptops and prototype quantum computers. The latter is done  using online cloud platforms currently provided by enterprises such as, e.g., IBM and D-Wave. Between these sessions, the students are expected to work independently, using their computers, access to quantum computers, and course notes.

In the last stage of the cource, the students are required to complete and present an individual project that involves (i) simulation of a quantum system/process, (ii) simulation of a quantum communications protocol, or (iii) creation of a quantum code and its implementation on a quantum processor using an online cloud platform. The project should be concluded by submitting a report which provides a description of the project, its motivation and implementation, and an analysis the obtained results.

The assessment will be based on a portfolio of the following:

• One individual project delivery consisting of a report (2000 - 4000 words)

In case of failed exam or legal absence, the student may apply for a new or postponed exam. New or postponed exams are offered within a reasonable time span following the regular exam. The student is responsible for registering for a new/postponed exam within the time limits set by OsloMet. The Regulations for new or postponed examinations are available in Regulations relating to studies and examinations at OsloMet.

In the event of a postponed examination in this course the exam may be held as an oral exam. Oral exams cannot be appealed.

All aids are permitted, provided the rules for plagiarism and source referencing are complied with.

For the oral exam, students will only have access to the project report.

• Participation at the seminars (80%)
• Three written texts (max. 900 words)

The required coursework must be approved before the students can take the supervised written exam.

Portfolio exam comprising four tests and a supervised written exam lasting four hours. All four tests must be passed before the student can take the supervised written exam. All the components must be awarded a pass grade before the exam as a whole can be passed. If the student fails one test, the student can retake this test. Resits/rescheduled attempts of the four tests can be taken once before the ordinary supervised written exam. Before the resit/rescheduled supervised written exam, students will be given a third and final attempt at one or more of the tests.
