AIM & FORMAT

A century after the great achievements of Quantum Mechanics, we are witnessing a Second Revolution. 
Our ability to manipulate single quantum objects and control quantum resources is at the heart of formidable advances that are expected to deeply influence and change our future.

The Summer School is meant to introduce Master and PhD Students to the fundamentals of Quantum Sciences and Technologies from both a theoretical and an experimental perspective, with an interdisciplinary approach. Main lectures will cover the four pillars of Quantum Information, Simulation, Computation and Sensing and will be complemented by:

• seminars on specific topics that will address applications in various fields of physics and other scientific areas;
• presentations of public and private research centers.

Collaborative activities will be planned to support creative thinking and development of transversal, soft and social skills.
 Speakers will include professors and researchers from University of Bologna, Brown University,  MacQuarie University and Stellenbosch University as well as researchers from other public institutions and private companies working in the field of quantum sciences and technologies. 

The School is organized in presence, which is required to attend laboratories and collaborative working sessions.
General lectures and seminars will be available also online.
