Project description:
The initiative brings together Latvia's leading scientists and teaching staff in the field of quantum technologies with the aim of supporting knowledge, skills, technologies and ideas related to practical applications of quantum physics. This initiative is a part of European and global effort to develop and apply a range of technologies based on quantum phenomena that will bring revolutionary changes in computing, communications and sensor technologies.
The activity of the initiative is currently focused on thematic directions based on the perspective of the future development of Latvian quantum technologies and already existing applications in science and industry:
Quantum algorithms and software;
Quantum sensors and devices (theory and implementation; electronics and photonics);
Quantum communication and communication security.
The partners of the initiative carry out research activities in the mentioned directions, as well as implement study course modules, creating high-level specialists in Latvia among both students and company specialists. The following study modules are being developed:
Theory of quantum computing;
Quantum programming;
Physics of quantum technologies;
Quantum communication technologies.
