Quantum mechanics provides the basis for a new computing paradigm. In the 1990s Shor's algorithm which exponentially speeds up classical integer factorization demonstrated the theoretical power of quantum computers. Recently, the development of quantum computers is making great progress and we need to learn how we can use the advantage of quantum computers.

In this training which we organize in cooperation with the Fraunhofer ITWM, you will learn the basics of quantum computing and the most important algorithms of quantum computing.

Upon successful completion of this module, participants will have acquired the following learning outcomes:

• are familiar with the formal basic concepts of quantum computing (quantum state, bit vs. qubit, measurement)
• can identify the crucial differences between quantum computing and classical computing

Knowledge / Understanding

Participants can

• describe the fundamental quantum algorithms and the intuitions behind them
• identify current challenges in creating and implement basic quantum algorithms

Skills

Participants can

• develop simple quantum programs
• analyze and modify complex quantum algorithms such as Shor's algorithm
