Course description
Objectives and Content
Objective:
The aim of the course is to provide students with valuable and relevant practical experience through a placement in a company or research environment related to quantum technology.
Content:
In this course, the student will actively participate in a practical placement at a company or within a research activity involving tasks that naturally align with the study program in quantum technology. The course is intended to provide hands-on insight into typical work processes in a company or research institution focused on the application of quantum technology, including areas such as optimization of energy or logistics problems, quantum sensing in an industrial context, and other practical uses of quantum algorithms. The course will also offer the opportunity to reflect on the interplay between the theoretical subjects completed in the study program and professional practice within the field of quantum technology.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of the course the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:
Knowledge
The student
- has knowledge of the characteristics of the company/institution and its role in society.
- can explain the tasks and working methods used in the host company/institution, as well as describe the workplace culture and the roles of colleagues in the organization.
Skills
The student
- can understand assigned tasks and communicate and collaborate with relevant parties to solve them.
- can reflect on their own professional practice.
- can approach the use of quantum technology in the company’s/institution’s operations in a reflective manner.
- can present the work carried out during the placement period both in writing and orally.
General competence
The student
- can adapt to the demands of working life.
- can reflect on their own knowledge and learning, as well as on their role in collaboration with others.
- can communicate key subject matter such as theories, issues, and solutions both orally and in writing, and exchange viewpoints and experiences with professionals in the field.
