Block course: Platforms for Quantum Technologies

Aims of the course: Recently, elusive concepts of quantum mechanics such as superposition and entanglement – which have long been regarded as curiosities of quantum mechanics with no practical purposes – have become the key elements of several technological applications. These fledgling quantum technologies define a new field of physics and engineering, and may be roughly structured into quantum communication, quantum sensing, quantum simulations, and, last but not least, quantum computing.[read more]
