Why this postgraduate course?
Quantum engineering concerns the development of technology that is based on quantum physics, i.e., on the physical laws that describe the world at microscopic scale. The mathematical framework provided by quantum information theory together with experimental advances in preparing and manipulating systems of very small sizes, have opened the route to the so-called second quantum revolution, heralding radical changes in technology.

Such technologies have the potential to offer new and better methods to solve challenging problems. Thanks to the large data processing capacity offered by quantum systems, inherently parallel, some problems in communications, computation, cybersecurity, sensing and simulations can be solved faster and more efficiently. Additionally, it is expected that quantum technologies will impact certain areas in the fields of chemistry, material sciences, biology, medicine, artificial intelligence and machine learning to name a few.

In Europe, there is an increasing demand of engineers specifically trained to use the laws of quantum physics for technological applications. The Quantum Engineering Postgraduate Degree aims at providing an initial comprehensive training on quantum technologies to engineers, mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists or professionals from the information and communication technologies (ICT) interested in the rapidly evolving field of technology.
Aims
  • To provide a scientific basis on quantum technologies merging knowledge from physics, information theory, computing science and telecommunications.
  • To know, understand and get acquainted with quantum technologies developed by some pioneering companies on the field.
  • To acquire theoretical and practical knowledge about new business models around quantum technologies.
Who is it for?
Graduates in mathematics, physics, computing, telecommunications, industrial engineering, civil engineering and other engineering studies.

Professionals from the information and communication technologies (ICT) sector interested in knowing the theoretical bases, applications and new business models quantum technologies might offer.

Training Content

List of subjects
4 ECTS 36h
Face-to-face
Theoretical Background on Quantum Physics
This block includes the basic concepts of quantum physics needed to handle quantum technologies. An extensive revision of the foundational pillars of quantum physics together with its appropriate mathematical formalism will be presented. Crucial concepts like entanglement, superposition, coherence, non-locality, pivotal for quantum technologies will be discussed and exemplified in physical implementable set-ups.
6 ECTS 48h
Online
Basic Elements of Quantum Technologies
This block of the postgraduate covers, in a self-consistent way, the four main pillars of present quantum technologies namely: quantum communication aiming at increasing security and efficiency of data transfer; quantum computing aiming at solving hard or intractable computational problems with classical computers; quantum simulations providing concrete solutions for concrete hard computational problems and quantum sensing and metrology aiming at dramatic increase on the accuracy in parameter estimation. This part of the course covers both basic ideas, experimental realizations and a thorough overview of the state-of-the-art and the potential quantum advantage of future technologies.
2 ECTS 21h
Online
Market Development of Quantum Technologies
This third block includes, on the one hand, a review of the different platforms used for quantum technologies including optical systems, solid state systems, atoms, ions, superconducting circuits.
