Description of contents: programme
In this subject the state of the art on the quantum application on metrology will be presented. The quantum effects related to frequency, temperature, voltage and resistance units realization and its technologies will be described specifically those that are maintained at CEM facilities where the student will have hands-on activities on their practical realization. 1. Introduction. SI evolution towards quantum physics. The Quantum Flag-ship and metrology. European Quantum metrology network strategy plan. Quantum metrology and standardization. 2. Frequency quantum standards 3. Temperature quantum standards 4. Resistance quantum standards 5. Current quantum standards 6. Voltage quantum standards 7. Laboratory realization of the quantum Hall effect and Josephson and its applications 8. Laboratory realization of the quantum temperature standards 9. Students reports presentations
Learning activities and methodology
Lectures. Tutoring hours Group work. Individual work by the students.
