Why is Quantum so special?
Basic rules of quantum physics
This module is a qualitative journey through the basic rules of quantum physics, an introduction to the special and counterintuitive world of quantum. You will be guided through interesting phenomena, experimental setups and their (planned) application in the real world.
In this journey, you will get to know to various relevant topics, applications and the basic rules to understand these. If you successfully complete this module, you will…
- …understand the difference between classical and quantum technologies!
- …learn basic terms and principles!
- …create, elaborate and reflect simple setups for further application!
- …explain basic terms, technological applications and principles!
A dedicated glossary supports this material, providing clear explanations for all essential and technical terms.
Topic 1 explores the probabilistic nature of quantum physics, as well as quantum random number generators (QRNGs).
Topic 2 explores superposition and interference in the context of Quantum objects, as well as optical quantum computing.
Topic 3 explores the definiteness of measurements, as well as quantum computing.
Topic 4 explores the principle of complementarity, as well as secure quantum key distribution.
Topic 5 explores entanglement, as well as the use of quantum repeaters for long-distance communication.
This Module is developed by TU Braunschweig as part of the Project “Quantum Technology Courses for Industry (QTIndu)“.
You can find more e-learning courses and modules about quantum in the QTIndu training catalogue.
