Winter School
Physics and Mathematics of Quantum Control
24-26 November 2025, Dijon, France
The fourth Winter School of the Erasmus Mundus Master QuanTEEM was held in Dijon on 24-26 November 2025. The event, focused on physics and mathematics of quantum control, brought together the fourth cohort of QuanTEEM students, researchers and international experts from both the academic and industrial sectors. The aim of this school was to bring together experimentalists, theoreticians, and mathematicians to provide a broad overview of the current state-of-the-art in this field and of the potential developments in a near future. Emphasis has been placed on the application of quantum control techniques in quantum technologies.
