Course/Module description:
The ability to manipulate quantum degrees of freedom is at various stages of transitioning from lab experiments to technological applications.
In this course we will explore the basic ideas and review the candidates for these technologies. In particular we will focus on quantum computing with trapped ions, circuit- and cavity-QED, and quantum optomechanics.
Course/Module aims:
Quantum technologies is a fast growing and changing field. This course will give the students the basic skills required to start doing research in the field.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
Understand the advantages and disadvantages of various technological implementations of quantum hardware.
