The school aims to provide a broad overview of different implementations of quantum information processing and quantum simulation enabled by recent progress in nanotechnologies. Seven leading experts will review the experimental and theoretical state-of-the-art for some of the most promising implementations such as semiconductor quantum dots, superconducting circuits, defect centers in diamond, photonic crystal structures, and topological insulators and explore the prospects of quantum computing, quantum simulation, and the physics of quantum many-body systems.
