To strengthen Latvia’s competitiveness in the field of quantum technologies, the University of Latvia (UL) and partners from Riga Technical University (RTU), the Institute of Solid State Physics of the UL (ISSP UL) and the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics of the UL (IMCS UL) are launching the ambitious Quantum Technology Initiative.
The project will train high-level professionals, develop knowledge and skills in high-tech areas, conduct high-level research, and foster synergies between higher education, science, and industry towards innovation.
The project will create new knowledge on quantum algorithms for universal quantum computers, quantum sensors and devices, quantum communication and cryptography. University students and industry professionals will have the opportunity to study four modules:
- Quantum Computing Theory,
- Quantum Programming,
- Physics of Quantum Technologies,
- Quantum Communication Technologies.
This knowledge will enable future collaborations with companies in the industry interested in quantum application: both large global companies and startups.
