The Moscow International School on Quantum Technologies (ISQT) brought together 30 of the best students from all over Russia. Among the participants were Ksenia Kozenko and Katerina Kozlova, first-year Master's students at the NSU Physics Department. They were chosen in a competitive selection process and made presentations of their research in the field of quantum physics.
ISQT is the first joint project of the Russian Quantum Center and the University of Future Technologies. Students received a unique opportunity to learn from world leaders. Nikolai Kolachevsky, Director of the Lebedev Physical Institute and Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Huzhong Chen, Professor of Peking University, Pong Shu, Professor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and other leading Russian and foreign scientists shared their knowledge.
The program included current areas of interest including introduction to quantum technologies and the basics of quantum computing with ultracold ions, superconducting systems, quantum key distribution, two-dimensional materials, and the latest achievements in neutral atom computing and quantum photonics.
The topic of Kozenko’s speech was the development of a neutral atom quantum computer. This architecture is being actively developed in the USA but remains technically complex. Kozlova presented a study on the ground state Hanle effect in alkali metal atoms and its application in quantum magnetometry. Participants received certificates of participation, but also the first certificates of advanced training issued by the University of Future Technologies. The NSU students will continue their research and are preparing to present new results at the upcoming conference "Nevskaya Photonics". Congratulations and good luck!
