How does quantum computing (QC) work? What principles do its programming rely on and why does the so-called “quantum advantage” promise disruptive change in almost all industries? This introductory one-day workshop covers the basics of QC, the innovation network and its opportunities and challenges and gaining insights into potential applications.
Quantum computing promises great potential for companies in almost all sectors thanks to its speed and efficiency advantages. The QC compact seminar provides participants with a comprehensive overview of the current innovation network in the field of quantum computing.
The program starts with an overview of the two quantum technologies, quantum computing and quantum sensing. Afterwards, the differences between classical computers and quantum computers are discussed, including the associated challenges and opportunities, in particular types of problems that can potentially be solved with QC. This will be followed by a demonstration of quantum principles using qubits, including an explanation of the Bloch sphere and quantum states such as superposition and measurement. Based on this, different quantum algorithms and exemplary use cases will be presented.
Optional: In the afternoon, participants are invited to familiarize themselves with the latest system architectures and deepen their knowledge with a visit to our Quantum Lab to experience the phenomena of the quantum world first-hand.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
