QISC 555 Technologies in Quantum Devices

This course introduces a wide range of scientific ideas, engineering techniques, and manufacturing technologies employed in harnessing quantum physics to create quantum devices; such as quantum clocks, computers, sensors, and the quantum internet. This is a topical-survey course that presents the terminology and basic principles underlying the theoretic and practical aspects of these devices. The student will be presented with the historical context and trajectory of important innovations and be brought up to date with the present state of these underlying technologies. At the conclusion of this course the student will be wholly conversant in the present challenges in the development of these devices, supported by a student-produced whitepaper, accompanied by the production of a video presentation.
