Quantum technologies is a thriving field of research. The goal of this field of research is to develop novel technologies based on the power of quantum mechanics for practical applications in areas like communication, sensing, computation and simulation. The devices in development include quantum computers capable to solve complex problems faster than any classical computer, quantum communication devices that cannot be hacked, quantum simulators for understanding and developing novel quantum materials, and quantum sensors that push the limits of standard measurement techniques.

The expected learning outcome is to understand the principles on which quantum technologies operate, be familiar with the state of the art systems and current challenges, and to have gained deeper insight into this important and interesting topic.
