Quantum Technology (minor)
Basic information
Code:
SCI3104
Extent:
20–25
ECTS
Curriculum:
2024–2026
2022–2024
2020–2022
Level:
Intermediate studies
Language of learning:
English
Theme:
ICT and digitalisation
Target group:
All Aalto students
Teacher in charge:
Anton Zasedatelev
Administrative contact:
Jaakko Autio
Organising department:
-
School:
School of Electrical Engineering
School of Science
Prerequisites:
Basic courses in engineering mathematics or equivalent knowledge. A course on electromagnetism such as PHYS-A0130 or ELEC-C9130 is recommended prior or within the minor. Students are requested to check the prerequisites of the courses before signing up. Some of the optional courses of this minor are rather demanding, especially the course PHYS-E0414 requires strong knowledge in quantum mechanics and hence are mainly intended for students with exceptional skills.
Quotas and restrictions:
No quotas.
Application process:
Open for all students of Aalto University.
Content and structure of the minor
Target group: All Aalto students except Quantum Technology and Engineering Physics major students. M.Sc. students should check with their own study programme whether this minor can be included in their degree.
Description and learning outcomes of the minor: This minor provides the students with the core competence in quantum technology (see learning outcomes of the Quantum Technology Major). Students with no quantum mechanics in their major also learn the fundamentals of quantum mechanics. Students that have quantum mechanics in their major can complement their skills, for example, with those of quantum circuits and information.
