(2) understand what local realism is and derive Bell inequalities,

(3) describe contextuality and Kochen-Specker theorem, demonstrate "quantum contextuality",

(4) understand no-cloning and no-communication theorems,

(5) use density matrices, and reduced density matrices; describe measurement process for a many component system,

(6) understand both BB84 and E92 quantum key distribution protocols

(7) know a few simple quantum algorithms (Deustch-Josza, Grover, period finding) and understand the advantage provided by quantum information processing,

(8) understand teleportation and dense coding,

(9) understand quantum circuit model of quantum computation.
