In the online course on quantum key distribution for engineers, participants will gain foundational knowledge in Quantum Communication and Networks, including basic quantum concepts, principles of classical and quantum cryptography, and secure communication protocols. The course will enable engineers to understand the need for and the potential of QKD. By the end of the course, engineers will be equipped to understand and evaluate quantum key distribution technologies in their professional roles.
In the online course on quantum key distribution for stakeholders, decision-makers and technology managers, participants will develop a robust understanding of the need for quantum safe cryptography and the principles and technologies of quantum information. The course conveys fundamental concepts and strategize the implementation of quantum technologies. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to make informed decisions about the first steps of implementing quantum key distribution and drive its adoption within their organizations.
We use two innovative didactical approaches which complement each other. The first approach is the Flipped Classroom. This concept changes the traditional roles of students and teachers/trainers. Students acquire a body of knowledge by self-study of learning materials. The personal interaction with the teacher/trainer then is not a classical lecture, but an interactive engagement with the course content in which the students and trainer/teacher discuss questions which remained open or evolved in the self-study phase. The second approach is Blended Learning. This concept describes how students can be provided with those learning materials for self-study on an online platform, and how the course can be structured such that self-study phases alternate with personal interaction phases.
