📢 Lectures: Quantum Sensing & Quantum Metrology

Quantum sensing uses the unique properties of quantum systems to achieve the measurement of physical quantities. From atomic clocks to gravitational wave detectors, quantum sensors have demonstrated how quantum-enhanced measurements can go beyond what can be done classically. At the heart of these techniques lies the challenge of exploiting couplings to external forces and fields, while maintaining good control over the decoherence of the system and other quantum noise sources. This exciting field has implications both from a fundamental point of view and for applications.
We are pleased to announce a specialized course on Quantum Sensing and Quantum Metrology, designed to offer a comprehensive introduction into the fundamental principles, and also real-world implementations of quantum-enhanced measurements.
