The lectures will familiarize students with the field of quantum technologies, i.e. technologies directly based on the principles of quantum physics. An introduction to the fundamental aspects of quantum physics shall be made (e.g. principle of superposition, measurement) so that students can be shown how these principles directly link to various technologies. Impact of quantum physics to the most widely investigated research platforms (ranging from optics of superconducting circuits) will be discussed. The main focus of the lectures lies in the specific quantum technologies themselves: quantum metrology, quantum imaging, quantum communications and computing and related technologies. These technologies are going to be described both from the theoretical standpoint as well as discussing practical implementations.
Lectures aimed at acquiring knowledge. Capability to perform quantum processor programming. |
