additional remarks Quantum theory was originally formulated as a statistical theory that describes ensembles of particles. Meanwhile, however, experiments in many laboratories around the world (and even by Google, IBM, Microsoft and Intel) have demonstrated quantum control over single particles. This has led to the dream of a “second quantum revolution”, in which the strangeness and the power of quantum physics is harnessed to facilitate novel technologies that provide possibilities beyond those offered by any classical device. In diverse settings, theory and proof-of-concept experiments have shown that one can gain unique advantage by storing, transmitting, and processing information encoded in systems that exhibit quantum properties. Examples include quantum cryptography (that allows for unbreakable encryption), quantum measurements (that can provide unprecedented resolution), quantum simulation (that can help to gain insight into complex quantum systems and materials), and quantum information processing (that can dramatically improve computational power for specific tasks).This module will cover the basic principles that lie at the heart of the mentioned quantum technologies: The quantum harmonic oscillator and quantum two-level systems (qubits), generation and control of single photons and other quantum light fields, entanglement, decoherence, quantum measurement, experimental techniques for qubit control, quantum error correction, atomic clocks, quantum sensing, quantum communication, and the various types of quantum hardware used in current experiments.
