Description (French)
Le traitement quantique de l'information (TQI) est un domaine d'étude qui évolue rapidement et qui présente le potentiel de révolutionner les technologies de l'avenir étant donné la miniaturisation croissante des éléments qui composent les systèmes de traitement de l'information, comme les ordinateurs et les réseaux de communication. Ce projet permettra de développer une suite normalisée de cours centrés sur le domaine de TQI. Il appuiera les échanges d'étudiants et de membres des corps professoraux entre les établissements canadiens et européens dont la compétence en QIP est reconnue, incluant la possibilité de stages. Les étudiants auront accès à des expériences et à des expertises internationales dans ce domaine.
