Knowledge in the basic concepts of quantum physics, basic knowledge in quantum optics, quantum electronics, optoelectronics and laser physics, quantum statistics, spinelectronics as a basis for future applications of quantum technologies.
Concepts of quantum physics have been developed at the beginning of 20. century, and developed into a comprehensive foundation of physics. Quantum technologies are already used in applications today, like e.g. semiconductor devices, laser devices or satellite navigation. The quantum principles of the first generation of applications are based on the concepts of coherence. Potential technologies of the second generation of quantum technologies will extend towards the manipulation of single quantum objects and will use many particle systems and entanglement. In a joint statement on the importance and commercialization of quantum technologies, the German Academies of Sciences urgently suggest to merge quantum technologies and engineering education. This is the goal of the lecture Advanced quantum technologies for engineers. It lays out the basis for an understanding of quantum effects, dealing with the following topics: quantum physics as scientific theory, principles of quantum theory, quantum technologies of 1. and 2. generation.
