In this course, students focus on one aspect of quantum technology and gain specialist knowledge and skills under the supervision of a research or industry expert. For example, students may learn how to design, simulate, operate and/ or characterise a chosen quantum technology. Alternatively, students may investigate economic, security and/ or public policy implications of a chosen quantum technology. The course will typically involve a series of readings, technical instruction and problem solving tasks specified by a supervisor. Student learning will be assessed via a major report, learning logbook and performance, and a presentation. Students are to identify and engage a supervisor to tailor a learning plan to their interests and future research or industry aspirations. Students may complete this course multiple times as long as each instance is on a different aspect of quantum technology.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

  1. Investigate the key principles, concepts and applications of specific quantum technologies;
  2. Design, create, operate, simulate and/ or characterise specific quantum technologies or explain the economic, security and/ or public policy implications of specific quantum technologies;
  3. Develop advanced written communication and verbal communication skills.

Indicative Assessment

  1. Assessment will be based on: (null) [LO null]
  2. Learning logbook and performance 30% (LO 1, 2, 3) (30) [LO null]
  3. Report 50% (LO 1, 2, 3) (50) [LO null]
  4. Presentation 20% (LO 1, 2, 3) (20) [LO null]
