Applied Quantum Training Program


APPLIED QUANTUM TRAINING PROGRAM


"Quantum Optics & Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) Training"

The program consists of theoretical and practical sessions about basic optics, quantum theory, and optoelectronics. Throughout the program, the applicants will have more time to try and get hands-on experience on basic quantum setups, quantum key distribution (QKD) and quantum sensing. For the theoretical sessions, many academicians and/or experienced people are invited to be the speakers, so that the highest quality of education is provided. The experimental sessions are conducted in the laboratory to realize first the topics/techniques then, to give the opportunity for the trainees to try and practice themselves under supervision.


Job and reference opportunities will be offered to those who successfully complete the program!


Who Can Participate in the Program?


Undergrad/Grad/PHD students and private sector employees can attend
