Course 217 – future needs for Metrology: climate science, quantum technologies, and the digital transformation

Modules and Topics

Module I (core module): Fundamentals of Metrology and the Digital Transformation of Measurement
Quantum standards and open metrology, artificial intelligence, application of digital technologies to metrology, time scales, new methods for uncertainty evaluation, materials for neural network applications, the SI ‐ how it works and how it was developed, the contributions of Galileo to measurement.

Module II (optional): Metrology for the Quality of Life and Climate Science
Measuring temperature and the atmosphere for climate, metrology of food, standards for laboratory measurements, metrology for inorganic chemistry, measurement challenges in the “omics,” and metrology for biology and medicine.

Module III (optional): Physical and Quantum Metrology
Fundamental metrology with cold atoms, quantum (optics) technologies, time series analysis, electrical metrology of power grids, ion/optical and nuclear clocks, materials for neural network applications, photometry & spectrometry, and advances in thermometry.
