Fundamental and Applied Photonics in Quantum and Femtotechnologies

Overview

Students acquire profound knowledge and practical skills both in general professional disciplines of the “Photonics and optical information technologies” subject area, and in such specialized professional disciplines as “Optical communication lines and quantum communications”, “Optical systems for recording, storing and displaying of information”, “Femtosecond optics and femtotechnologies”.

It is important to note that the students spend more than 50% of the time working at the scientific laboratories and centers of the International Institute of Photonics and Optical Information Technologies, and such innovative industrial companies as Quantum Communications LLC, gaining practical skills of implementing projects commissioned by the Ministry of Higher Education and Science of the Russian Federation and the industry.

Career options:

Graduates from Quantum Communications and Femtotechnologies program at ITMO University are in demand in the following areas of photonics and optical information technologies:

• development and operation of optical and quantum devices and systems for the transmission, processing and recording of information;

• development and operation of lasers and laser systems for various purposes, including using femtosecond technologies;

• development and operation of fiber-quantum communications and networks;

• software development for photonics and optical information technologies systems creation.
