SQMS Center

GGI Summer School

An extraordinary educational opportunity

Ph.D. students, experimentalists and postdocs interested in quantum information science, particle physics and condensed matter attended a summer school program offered by SQMS and hosted by Galileo Galilei Institute (GGI) for Theoretical Physics in Florence, Italy.

Students were introduced to basic concepts in circuit quantum electrodynamics, quantum controls, and metrology. The school also covered topics in quantum sensing at the precision frontier, quantum-limited amplification, and microwave photon counting to improve the sensitivity in axion detection and other dark matter candidate interactions significantly.

The school was organized in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science’s National QIS Research Centers.
