This module is a qualitative journey through the basic rules of quantum physics, an introduction to the special and counterintuitive world of quantum. The learner will be guided through interesting phenomena, experimental setups and their (planned) application in the real world.

Learning objectives

• understand the difference between classical and quantum technologies
• learn basic terms and principles
• create, elaborate and reflect simple setups for further application
• explain basic terms, technological applications and principles
