PHYS467 Introduction to Quantum Technology

What does it say on Testudo?

Investigates the physical systems used to implement quantum computers. Covers basics of atomic clocks, laser interferometers, quantum key distribution, quantum networks, and three types of qubits (ion-based, superconductor-based, and semiconductor-based).

Why did I take this class??

PHYS457 inspired me to learn more about quantum computing, and this looks like a good class to learn about quantum hardware. Also counts for physics minor, otherwise I would have taken PHYS410 (Classical Mechanics) instead.

Summary

For better or worse, the course was decided to be virtual after I signed up.
