Do you want to know what entanglement or superposition are? How they are generated and controlled? And what are they used for? The Second Quantum Revolution is here, and you can't afford to miss it.
The precise control of quantum phenomena at the most elementary level will enable us to utilize Quantum Mechanics to overcome existing barriers in classical computing. Quantum Communications, Metrology and Quantum Sensors, as well as Quantum Computing and Simulation, have the potential to reach levels unattainable with traditional technology.
From the Universities of Galicia, UDC, USC, and UVIGO, we have developed this official master's program with expert faculty in all three areas and state-of-the-art material facilities. In particular, you will have priority access to an experimental quantum communications line or a real quantum computer with 32 superconducting qubits located at CESGA. If you have a STEM/CS background and a strong desire to learn new things and open your mind to a different way of thinking, our goal is to help you transition into the field of Quantum Science and Information Technologies. Apply for your spot now, and we'll see you in class.
¿Quieres saber lo que es, para qué sirve y cómo se crea y controla el entrelazamiento o la superposición? La Segunda Revolución Cuántica está aquí y tú no te la puedes perder.
El control y dominio de los fenómenos cuánticos a nivel más elemental nos va a permitir utilizar todo el potencial de la Mecánica Cuántica para manipular la Información de forma totalmente novedosa y disruptiva. Las Comunicaciones Cuánticas, la Metrología y los Sensores Cuánticos, o la Computación y la Simulación Cuánticas tienen el potencial de llegar a niveles no alcanzables con la tecnología tradicional.
