The focus of this Summer School is on advanced ideas, novel results, current problems, and future prospects in the area of modern quantum science, with a special focus on quantum materials and their applications in quantum technology. This constitutes a new and advanced research area of physics and engineering, aiming at exploiting phenomena of quantum mechanics such as entanglement, quantum superpositions, tunneling, and quantum interference for practical applications: in quantum computing, quantum sensing, quantum cryptography, high precision quantum metrology, and quantum imaging.
The meeting will be centered around a series of lectures directed at a broad audience of young researchers (including Master and PhD students, young postdocs, and research associates) as well as senior scientists from developing countries working on various aspects of condensed matter physics, material science, as well as statistical and chemical physics. The invited lecturers will be internationally recognized experts in the research field. The invited lectures will be complemented by short talks of the younger participants from the developing countries of Central and South East Asia, Caucasus and the Middle East.
