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%).
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. EENGM0025).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
