After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand the theoretical and experimental principles that are used in quantum computers and for quantum metrological applications. Specifically, the students will acquire the necessary theoretical skills for(1) constructing elementary quantum circuits,(2) understanding the working principles of the most important quantum algorithms,(3) describing the implementation of quantum gates with trapped ions and superconducting qubits,(4) modelling time measurements with coherent ensembles, (5) realizing atomic clocks with trapped particles, (6) describing optical frequency standards.
1. Quantum communication and quantum information processing (P. Rabl)
Introduction to quantum information theory, basics quantum communication protocols and algorithms, implementation of a quantum computer with trapped ions and superconducting qubits.
2. Quantum metrology (T. Schumm)
Measurement in quantum physics, measuring time with coherent ensembles, atom traps with trapped particles, optical frequency standards
3. Studentseminars:
As part of the lecture, students will give short presentations about current research topics in the field of quantum technologies.
Lecture with strong and active students participation through questions and votings and through short presentations by students.
The course will be held in a "distance learning" mode using the video conferencing software "Zoom".
The first lecture will take place on Wednesday, 07.10.2020 at 10:00 am sharp, where all further dates for the individual lectures will be discussed.
All information about the course, the links to the Zoom meetings, etc. will be announced via TISS. To receive this information, please make sure that you are registered for the course.
Short oral presentation about a recent research result in the field of quantum technologies.
