About

Quantum science has the particularity to require technology to be probed in the lab, because of the very nature of the fragile quantum properties. With the continued technological improvements, both quantum science and its technology keep advancing. The so-called “second quantum revolution” comes with the possibility to create and manipulate single quantum systems, thus offering new possibilities for technological applications. It has unleashed a number of emergent technologies harnessing quantum physics to enhance sensing performance and information processing. Such a drive requires research in fundamental science.

This Doctoral Training Unit (DTU) aims to seed a National Quantum Initiative focused on fostering and harnessing emergent technologies enabled by the control of quantum systems to perform quantum information processing. It registers within the National Priorities to drive industrial and service transformation, through cutting-edge research in fundamental phenomena defining materials function and devices, design of quantum algorithms for future computers and communication systems, and provide 21st century education, namely, educating a pool of students contributing to the quantum-smart workforce capable of tackling the on-going technological transformation.
