Quantum Machines II

Content

Quantum Machines I and II are designed to immerse students in the
fascinating intersection of quantum mechanics and cutting-edge
engineering applications. Aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate
students in mechanical engineering, these courses provide a
comprehensive exploration of quantum principles through practical
technology examples. In Quantum Machines I, students will build a solid
foundation in quantum mechanics, including fundamental concepts such as
quantum states, operators, and the uncertainty principle. The course
then connects these concepts to real-world engineering systems like MEMS
devices, scanning probes, and quantum sensors, making abstract theories
tangible and relevant.

Building on this foundation, Quantum Machines II delves deeper into
advanced topics such as angular momentum, quantum electrodynamics, and
quantum information processing. Students will explore sophisticated
applications including nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, quantum
dots, and atomic clocks. The teaching concept integrates theoretical
rigor with hands-on examples from modern technology, enabling students
to see how quantum effects drive innovation in various fields. Through
this approach, complex theoretical concepts are made accessible and
engaging, bridging the gap between theory and practice. Registering for
both courses will equip students with the knowledge and skills to
understand and contribute to the forefront of quantum engineering and
technology.
