Wiki page for course QT5201U (Quantum control technology) - AY2026/27S1

This will be the place for documenting projects. To be able to write something to this wiki, we need to create a user login manually. If you have not yet created an account, do let me know - Christian.

Next class: Mon 17 Aug 2026 in the seminar room S15 level 5.
