This taught MSc course offers a comprehensive overview of the emerging
applications of quantum physics to information processing and quantum
coherent devices. The course syllabus includes important topics such as:
* Quantum Information Science. This teaches how quantum phenomena may be
used to process information in novel ways that outperform existing
information processing technologies.
* Experimental Quantum and Atom Optics. This topic covers the key techniques
used to generate and manipulate quantum coherence in real experimental
systems.
* Introduction to Quantum Optics and Open quantum systems. This topic will
teach principles that can be used to describe all quantum coherent
devices.
The courses and research project will be under the guidance of the Quantum
Information and Coherence researchers at the department of Physics at the
University of Strathclyde, including Dr. Aidan Arnold, Prof. Steve Barnett,
Dr. Paul Griffin, Dr. John Jeffers, Prof. Stefan Kuhr, Dr. Daniel Oi, Prof.
Erling Riis, and Dr. Shashank Virmani. Please see
