Quantum computing promises great potential for companies in almost all sectors thanks to its speed and precision advantages. The combination with machine learning methods also opens up new possibilities. How do quantum computers work, what principles are their programming based on, and why does the so-called “quantum advantage” promise a disruptive change in the IT industry? In a 3-day course, the quantum team of the Fraunhofer IAO trains the experts of tomorrow.

​​​The free training program provides comprehensive knowledge in the field of quantum computing, from basics to application. The course aims at a general understanding of quantum technology and builds up the necessary key skills for industrial application. Four modules will teach you how to assess the key technology of quantum computing, how to deal with it and how to apply it in a targeted manner: Basics, Hardware, Algorithms, and Application.

​We invite participants to join us in learning about the phenomena of the quantum world, the differences between today’s system architectures, and the basics of programming them. From the principles of quantum mechanics, we take the exciting path to their industrial application and work on a wide variety of use cases, for example, in the fields of quantum chemistry, finance, optimization, or quantum machine learning.
