Course Overview

The Quantum Transport online course includes a study of quantum methods and parameters in constructing transport systems. Set at a postgraduate level of study, this elective course is developed by IISER Thiruvananthapuram. The programme is supported by industry leaders such as IBM, SQC Sydney, Philips Semiconductors, and D-Wave systems.

Learners will understand concepts relating to weaker localisations, nanowires, 1D/ 2D systems, and quantum electrical amplifiers. By completing the Quantum Transport certification syllabus, students will grasp familiar effects of Quantum Hall, Josephson, Coulomb blockade, and Aharonov-Bohm. Additional avenues that open to candidates include research in metrology, quantum computing, and electrical sensing technologies.

Professor Madhu Thalakulam from IISER Thiruvananthapuram mentors the learners of this online training. In this FDP, candidates can secure an e-verifiable Quantum Transport certification. For the accreditation, they need to complete all the learning modules, submit assignments, and register for the end-term test. They must secure the minimum marks specified for assignments and final tests.
