Quantum Science and Quantum Information

The minor programme begins with covering the fundamental knowledge you will need from mathematics, quantum mechanics and computer science. After this, you dive into learning about modern quantum technologies, in particular hardware platforms for realizing qubits, quantum communication protocols, and quantum sensing and measurements. In a team project at the end of the minor you will work on applications in quantum technology, involving hardware or software.

The student possesses sufficient knowledge of the field of quantum theory, together with the necessary mathematics and electromagnetism, to participate in basic quantum research and to follow specialised courses in the field of quantum science and engineering. The student has knowledge of the realisation of quantum devices.

The student has knowledge of and experience in research in the field of quantum science, in particular quantum information.
The student is aware of the implications of quantum technology and is capable of forming informed opinions on this and able to defend these.

The student has experience in carrying out project work in groups.
The student has an overview of recent developments in the field of quantum science, technology and information and of the prospects for the near future, and is capable of reflecting on these.
