Content

This practical course focuses on the theoretical analysis and practical implementation of current topics in quantum computing. The introduction covers necessary mathematical foundations of quantum systems and their representation by qubits and quantum circuits before delving into the specifics of the topics offered. Possible topics include quantum algorithms, optimization of quantum systems, quantum software engineering, or quantum machine learning.

There are fixed dates for topic assignment and lectures to introduce the topic of quantum computing. Additional face-to-face meetings to discuss individual progress are coordinated individually between the participants and supervisors. Participants work on separate tasks that are defined on the basis of current research work and thus offer realistic problems from practice and research. Assignments are graded individually, group work is possible. Prior knowledge and areas of interest of the participants are taken into account when assigning the topics.
