Content

This practical course focuses on the theoretical analysis and practical implementation of current topics in quantum computing. The introduction covers the necessary mathematical foundations of quantum systems and their representation by qubits and quantum circuits, before going 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 the assignment of topics and attendance dates for an introduction to the topic of quantum computing. Further face-to-face meetings to discuss progress are coordinated individually between the internship participants and supervisors. Internship participants work on separate tasks that are defined on the basis of current research work and thus offer realistic questions from practice and research. The internship work is graded individually, group work is possible. Prior knowledge and areas of interest of the participants are taken into account when assigning topics.
