Prerequisites: CAS MA 225 (Multivariate Calculus), Linear Algebra, ENG EK 125 (Introduction to Programming for Engineers), ENG EK103 (Computational Linear Algebra), CAS PY 313 / 314 (Waves and Modern Physics). Background knowledge in classical electrodynamics, semiconductors physics, and elementary quantum mechanics. This course introduces graduate students to Quantum Engineering and Technology (QET) by providing a comprehensive and rigorous discussion of the basic principles and engineering design concepts of quantum coherent structures and devices for communications, computation, simulation, metrology, and sensing. The course will provide the mathematical foundation, selected design methods, and in-depth discussions of engineering device implementations of coherent quantum systems, with emphasis on quantum optical ones. The course provides a broad yet rigorous training in quantum mechanics for engineering students interested in understanding both the technical applications and the broader societal impact of quantum principles in technology.
