Members of the Institute participate to teaching at partner Universities.
We have been offering courses at the following institutions:
More information about the courses grouped by academic year is listed below.
In this course we introduce the basic concepts underlying the development of quantum field theory, and then present the theory for spin zero and spin one particles. Details include quantisation, and spontaneous symmetry breaking. The course might touch on spin one half particles, depending on progress.

This lecture is an introduction to modern algorithmic challenges as they occur in the usage of near-term quantum computing hardware. After reviewing the basics of quantum computation and algorithms we will cover the limitation of current quantum computing hardware. Next, we will discuss algorithms for near-term quantum computers, before we turn to quantum compilation, i.e. algorithms for the optimal mapping of quantum algorithms to real quantum computers. Finally, we will cover the basics of quantum error correction and mitigation.
Lecturer: Dr. Tobias Stollenwerk
Host institution: RWTH Aachen, Physics Department (Prof. Dr. Hendrik Bluhm)
This lecture is an interdisciplinary (computer science, physics, mathematics) introduction to modern algorithmic challenges as they occur in the usage of near-term quantum computing hardware. After reviewing the basics of quantum computation and algorithms we will cover the limitation of current quantum computing hardware from a computer scientist’s point of view. Next, we will discuss algorithms for near-term quantum computers, before we turn to quantum compilation, i.e. algorithms for the optimal mapping of quantum algorithms to real quantum computers. Finally, we will cover the basics of quantum error correction and mitigation.

After reviewing the basics of quantum computation and algorithms we will cover the limitation of current quantum computing hardware. Next, we will discuss algorithms for near-term quantum computers, which is the main focus of the lecture. Finally, we turn to quantum compilation, i.e. algorithms for the optimal mapping of quantum algorithms to real quantum computers, as well as quantum error mitigation and correction.

In this course we introduce the basic concepts underlying quantum information processing.
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Frank Wilhelm-Mauch
Host institution: Universität des Saarlandes
It's a relatively new idea to exploit the laws of quantum mechanics to target hard computational problems. It has impact on physics, chemistry, computer science, math and many more disciplines because quantum computers, in principle, can outperform classical computers. Furthermore, quantum information represents a post-Moore paradigm, because Moore's scaling law will saturate during the next few years limited by fundamental laws of physics. Although useful quantum computers are still far outside reach, small toy versions are already demonstrated in experiment. Actually, IBM offers some of their chips as open access in the cloud. This lecture's goal is to give a broad overview on the main concepts and applications on the field of quantum information.
