The discussion focuses on the latest research topics in Quantum Information Theory, highlighting significant advancements in quantum technologies over the past two decades. Key areas of research include quantum communication, quantum simulation, quantum computation, and quantum sensing and metrology. The European community has developed a comprehensive 150-page Quantum Technologies Roadmap, which outlines the strategic direction for these fields. This roadmap is a result of various EC-funded coordination projects aimed at fostering collaboration and innovation in quantum research.
PREREQUISITESResearchers, graduate students, and professionals in physics and engineering fields who are interested in pursuing advanced studies or careers in Quantum Information Theory and related quantum technologies.
Abstract said:Within the last two decades, quantum technologies (QT) have made tremendous progress, moving from Nobel Prize award-winning experiments on quantum physics (1997: Chu, Cohen-Tanoudji, Phillips; 2001: Cornell, Ketterle, Wieman; 2005: Hall, Hänsch-, Glauber; 2012: Haroche, Wineland) into a cross-disciplinary field of applied research. Technologies are being developed now that explicitly address individual quantum states and make use of the 'strange' quantum properties, such as superposition and entanglement. The field comprises four domains: quantum communication, where individual or entangled photons are used to transmit data in a provably secure way; quantum simulation, where well-controlled quantum systems are used to reproduce the behaviour of other, less accessible quantum systems; quantum computation, which employs quantum effects to dramatically speed up certain calculations, such as number factoring; and quantum sensing and metrology, where the high sensitivity of coherent quantum systems to external perturbations is exploited to enhance the performance of measurements of physical quantities. In Europe, the QT community has profited from several EC funded coordination projects, which, among other things, have coordinated the creation of a 150-page QT Roadmap (http://qurope.eu/h2020/qtflagship/roadmap2016). This article presents an updated summary of this roadmap.
