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 information processing and quantum communication (S. Sponar)
Introduction to quantum information theory, basics quantum communication protocols and algorithms (Deutsch-Joza, Grover, Shore), 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.
!!!Attention: The course on December 21. is cancelled due to X-mas closing of TU Wien!!!
The course will be held in attendance.
The first lecture will take place on Wednesday, 12.10.2022 at 10:00 am sharp, where all further dates for the individual lectures will be discussed.
All information about the course will be announced via TISS. Therfrore it is recommended that you are registered for the course in advance (but it is not mandatory).
