Seminar: Bathen & Vines

It is a pleasure to invite you all to a MatMod / QHub / REGAL seminar by Marianne Bathen and Lasse Vines from the Department of Physics at the University of Oslo.

Quantum Technology (QT) studies at UiO
and teaching QT to 2nd year bachelor students

Abstract: In 2024, the University of Oslo started a new study direction within the Physics & Astronomy BSc programme on Quantum Technology (QT). The study direction aims at giving a broad overview of the topic, ranging from fundamental quantum physics and the quantum mechanics needed to utilize QT within the different applications, via physical realizations to quantum computing and quantum information science. The programme should prepare the students for various master programmes within QT, both at UiO and elsewhere.

The first QT related course in the study direction is found in the third semester, and titled “Fys1400 Introduction to quantum technology”. The course is given before the regular quantum physics course, and aims at giving a broad overview of the topic before the student dive into the various aspects of quantum physics and QT.

In this talk we will give a brief overview of the ongoing changes in the educational programmes at the Department of Physics at UiO, and give a brief overview and thoughts on teaching the introductory course in QT.
