Master Seminar I + II
Winter term 2020/21
Quantum technologies
Tuesdays 14-16
The first Quantum Revolution gave us new rules that govern physical reality. These were exploited to understand many questions in solid state physics, high energy physics and optics. It caused a transformational change to science, technology and society by providing us with things like transistors, computers, iPads, the laser and so on. The next Quantum Revolution is now on its way. The European Union and many national activates are spending significantly more than one billion Euros within the next ten years to develop tools and devices that “really” exploit the quantum character of our world. The goal is to produce quantum computers and quantum simulators, quantum sensors and quantum communication devices that might in the future impact large areas of daily life. This seminar intends to give an overview over this topic. We will explore individual examples where quantum technologies are already used today and hope to give you an overview of what to expect from quantum technologies in the coming years.
The seminar is a joint initiative of all QUANTUM groups and will be organized by Patrick Windpassinger (windpass@uni-mainz.de). The approx. 30 minutes talks should be given in English.
