PHYS-470: Nonlinear optics for quantum technologiesThis course provides the fundamental knowledge and theoretical tools needed to treat nonlinear optical interactions, covering both classical and quantum theory of nonlinear optics. It presents applications such as nonclassical state generation and coherent frequency conversion.
PHYS-454: Quantum optics and quantum informationThis lecture describes advanced concepts and applications of quantum optics. It emphasizes the connection with ongoing research, and with the fast growing field of quantum technologies. The topics cover some aspects of quantum information processing, quantum sensing and quantum simulation.
MICRO-428: MetrologyThe course deals with the concept of measuring in different domains, particularly in the electrical, optical, and microscale domains. The course will end with a perspective on quantum measurements, which could trigger the ultimate revolution in metrology.
COM-309: Quantum information processingInformation is processed in physical devices. In the quantum regime the concept of classical bit is replaced by the quantum bit. We introduce quantum principles, and then quantum communications, key distribution, quantum entropy, and spin dynamics. No prior knowledge of quantum physics is required.
COM-611: Quantum Information Theory and ComputationToday one is able to manipulate matter at the nanoscale were quantum behavior becomes important and possibly information processing will have to take into account laws of quantum physics. We introduce concepts developed in the last 25 years to take advantage of quantum resources.
COM-402: Information security and privacyThis course provides an overview of information security and privacy topics. It introduces students to the knowledge and tools they will need to deal with the security/privacy challenges they are likely to encounter in today's Big Data world. The tools are illustrated with relevant applications.
PHYS-464: Solid state systems for quantum informationThis course will give an overview of the experimental state of the art of quantum technology for Quantum Information Processing (QIP). We will explore some of the most promising approaches for realizing quantum hardware and critically assess each approach's strengths and weaknesses.
PHYS-314: Quantum physics IIL'objectif de ce cours est de familiariser l'étudiant avec les concepts, les méthodes et les conséquences de la physique quantique. En particulier, le moment cinétique, la théorie de perturbation, les systèmes à plusieurs particules, les symétries, et les corrélations quantique seront traité
PHYS-744: Advanced Topics in Quantum Sciences and TechnologiesThis course provides an in-depth treatment of the latest experimental and theoretical topics in quantum sciences and technologies, including for example quantum sensing, quantum optics, cold atoms, theory of quantum measurements and open dissipative quantum systems, etc.
QUANT-400: Introduction to quantum science and technologyThis course provides all students with a broad view of the diverse aspects of the field: quantum physics, communication, computation, simulation, quantum hardware technologies, quantum sensing and metrology. The course will be an overview of frontiers of the domain and taught by multiple instructors
