Course Content
Advanced materials
This part of the course aims to develop students' understanding of the fundamental properties and applications of materials science and engineering, covering areas such as energy and sustainability, healthcare, semiconductors and nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence. Promote students' enthusiasm for materials science by stimulating their curiosity and recognizing the interdisciplinary nature of materials science at an early stage.
Quantum Information and Quantum Computing
This part of the course introduces the basic concepts and principles of quantum computing, and discusses quantum information technology and its future development. Simple quantum algorithms include Deutsch algorithm, Deutsch-Josza algorithm and Simon algorithm;3. Quantum Fourier transform and Shor algorithm, search algorithm, 4. Quantum error correction and one-time quantum computing, 5. Physical implementation of quantum computers such as photons.
Quantum Technology and Quantum Material Investigation
1.We are investigating the quantum technology application with the electron spins and photons as qubits. Especially, electron spins in color centers of wide bandgap material can hold long spin coherence time. They are promising candidates for quantum sensing and stationary qubits for quantum communications. Photons act as flying qubits in quantum network and are promising candidates for on-chip integrated photonics quantum computation.
2.We are exploring different candidate for quantum materials such as systems for single photon emitters and 2D material excitons. They can carry different degrees of freedom such as charge, spin or valleys. In our research, we explore their interaction with optical and electric field.
