Objectives of the School

The second quantum revolution builds on key concepts of quantum mechanics—superposition, entanglement, and measurement—to drive the emergence of advanced technologies in quantum information, quantum metrology, and quantum optics. This thematic school will offer participants an in-depth training at the intersection of theoretical advances and recent technological developments.

The school will feature lectures by leading experts, complemented by interactive discussions. The goal is to explore the connections between fundamental research and real-world applications, with a strong focus on recent breakthroughs. Designed for Master’s and PhD students, the program will provide a stimulating environment for scientific exchange and knowledge enhancement.

The QREV25 thematic school is organized by Thomas Durt, Virginia D'Auria, and Mohamed Hatifi as part of QuanTEdu-France (Plan Quantique), in collaboration with other partner institutions (ECM, Institut Fresnel, UCA, Inphiny).
