Quanten Computing Winter School | HHN x Fraunhofer IAO

Hochschule Heilbronn | Bildungscampus  

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. 

What you’ll learn:

  • The quantum nature of the smallest scales and how it makes quantum computers different

  • The concept of qubits, quantum operations, and how to model them mathematically

  • The current landscape of quantum computing hardware, with its potentials and limitations

  • How to implement fundamental quantum algorithms on your computer using Python

  • Applications in Quantum Optimization, Quantum Machine Learning and Quantum Chemistry

By attending all five days and completing a follow-up test within one week, you can earn a certificate (1 ECTS). Please use the contact form if you are interested:
