The aim is to introduce big picture of architecture for future quantum technology leaders and equip them with the techniques to design, deliver and manage quantum technologies at scale. The key elements will be addressed with specific examples from quantum technologies. Quantum system engineering is an interdisciplinary approach which will focus on the control, planning, organising and managing concepts that govern the basics of the topic. It will look toward commercialisation and how to deliver it starting from the early development phase, covering all the steps in between, such as system validation, operation, cost, training, manufacturing, maintenance, and disposal. Both system architecture and system interface concepts will be covered.
Upon completion of the course students should:
Transferrable skills include:
The course will consist of graduate-style lectures.
Assessment for this graduate-style course will include a group project with a report (~3000 words 60%) and a presentation (40%).
