Quantum Computing Winter School | HHN x Fraunhofer IAO

Quantum computing (QC) is gaining momentum right at your doorstep in Heilbronn. What Einstein called “spooky”, once, has become one of the most rigorously confirmed theories in science. Today, we can harness quantum effects with such precision, that algorithms can be executed in minutes on a quantum computer that would take a conventional computer 10 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 years.

If this gives you goosebumps, join our QC Winter School for all quantum enthusiasts, researchers, and students. Hosted by the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering and Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences, this five-day program will guide you through the fundamental principles of quantum computing to applications in Cyber Security, QuantumOptimization, Quantum Machine Learning, and Quantum Chemistry. Along the way, you’ll gain hands-on experience through interactive programming tutorials and exercises. 

Lectures:

  • Quantum Computing Basics

  • Quantum Hardware

  • Quantum Algorithms

  • Quantum Errors

  • Hands-on sessions with Jupyter Notebooks  

Application Sessions:

  • Quantum Chemistry and Material Science

  • Quantum Communication

  • Quantum Optimization

  • Quantum Machine Learning 

Side Program:

  • Networking Night at urban innovation hub uih!

  • Visit from experimenta science team with hands-on experiments

By attending all five days and completing a follow-up test within one week, you can earn a certificate (1 ECTS).
