Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In-depth discussions of the operating principles, methods, and challenges of state-of-the-art quantum technologies. Content will cover both theoretical and experimental considerations in an integrated fashion, made possible by the complementary expertise of leading Austrian universities (UNIVIE, UIBK, JKU and TU Wien).

The main topics will include:
- Quantum computing: error mitigation and error correction
- Quantum cryptography and relativistic cryptography
- Quantum sensing

Learning objectives:
- Students get familiar with contemporary challenges in state-of-the-art quantum technologies.
- Students can independently analyze, interpret, reproduce, and critically discuss current research results.
- Students understand the multi-faceted challenges within quantum technology and can make quantitative estimates of the complexity of reaching current milestones.

A basic understanding of quantum information is required, and basic programming skills (e.g. Python, Mathematica) are advantageous. Some homework will be given in Python, but other platforms can be used as well.

Assessment and permitted materials

The grade is composed of active participation during the course, the submitted homework exercises, and presentations to peers in class.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Attendance and seminar talk.

Examination topics

Reading list
