Basics of Quantum Metrology - Lecture 1

Delve into the fundamentals of quantum metrology in this comprehensive lecture, the first in a series on precision measurements and quantum metrology. Explore the theoretical foundations of quantum physics and its applications in cutting-edge technologies. Learn about the paradigm shift in controlling individual quantum systems and how quantum resources like entanglement, superposition, and coherence can achieve unprecedented measurement accuracies. Discover the importance of precision measurements in pushing the boundaries of scientific knowledge and their role in emerging quantum technologies. Gain insights into the theory of estimation, classical and quantum metrology, and various techniques used in atomic and optical physics for quantum metrology and precision measurements. This lecture, part of a broader program organized by leading institutions, aims to build knowledge and awareness among young researchers who will contribute to India's National Quantum Mission.
