Comments/contents:
Quantum computing is at the doorstep of becoming a dominant technology of the 21st century. Categorically faster algorithms running on quantum hardware can revolutionize our thinking about optimization and NP hard problems, leading to major potential advantages in physics, medicine, genetics, and informatics and the society as a whole.
This course teaches the basics of quantum computing in a few lectures and offers hands-on projects on quantum computing and quantum annealing with IBM Qiskit and the D-Wave Ocean SDK, which can be used to program and control current-day quantum computers and annealers, respectively.
If the number of participants allows, we will offer group projects, to boost your team skills and make this course a better experience.
Supervision of the projects in German and English available.
