Quantum Information

Yann Colin — 2022-01-21T15:47:45Z

Enseignant : Jérôme Estève Chargé de TD : Thibaut Jacqmin ECTS : 6 Langue d'enseignement : Anglais Examination : Written (3h) Site web
Description
Progress in experimental quantum physics has transformed thought experiments into reality, so that an exciting new question can now be asked : How can we harness the "strange" features of quantum mechanics - such as nonlocality, entanglement, and quantum measurement - in new applications ? In this new field, broadly called “quantum technologies”, (...)
