This is an overview of the quantum physics part of a course given at Cambridge University, called "Physical Applications of Geometric Algebra". After a brief introduction to geometric algebra, we will study its role in the representations of single-particle spinors, before constructing multiparticle states and density operators. Applications to quantum information will be highlighted. Some mention will also be made of extending the main concepts to the relativistic setting, which raises interesting theoretical questions.
