PhD Courses in Denmark

This course will be an introduction to selected topics within quantum physics and quantum technology, which are of special relevance to contemporary research and innovation. Students will be brought fully up-to-date on these topics by lecturers, who are themselves experts in the field and skilled teachers. In addition, the course will also contain material that ensures the students will refresh their knowledge within the basic subjects. Moreover, the course will include teaching and/or workshops on transferable skills relevant to research and technology. The course presumes knowledge of basic quantum mechanics and quantum information.

A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:

• Understand selected areas of quantum physics as a basis for research relevant to quantum technologies.
• Obtain knowledge about the underlying concepts of quantum information processing and quantum computing.
• Obtain knowledge about the underlying concepts of quantum communication.
• Obtain knowledge about the underlying concepts of quantum sensing.
• Explain quantum technologies relevant to the specific topic of the school and related experimental techniques.
• Explain and discuss general technological concepts relevant to emerging quantum technologies.
• Obtain transferable skills relevant to scientific research and technology, e.g. presentation techniques, good scientific conduct, and innovation.
• Participate in international networking.

The course is conducted as an MSc and PhD school at an external conference venue outside DTU. Information about the current course, description of the selected topic, programme, and practical information will be provided at the summer school website: TBA
