Quantum Information Technologies
Objective: This course aims at offering graduate students a comprehensive introduction to the current research in experimental quantum information and the related technologies. It relies on a series of invited lectures by top-level experts and pioneers in their respective areas of activity.
Target: Students of the doctoral programmes in Physics and Technological Physics Engineering. Also relevant for graduate students in physics (MEFT), computer science, information sciences, electrical engineering and mathematics.
Format: Series of lectures (7,5 credits ECTS).
Course coordinator: Yasser Omar
Syllabus: The course Quantum Information Technologies is constituted by a series of weekly invited lectures, delivered by experts in the field. Opportunities for scientific visits to their laboratories will be available to DP-PMI students.
