Education

Transdisciplinary Doctoral Program

The Ph.D. candidates enrolled in this program will receive an in-depth education on quantum science, in the main material platforms used in experiments, and in the mathematical concepts used for their description, as well as in the information and computation science concepts.

A unique characteristic of the research projects is their high degree of interdisciplinarity.
