Summary
Quantum engineering and computing is at the heart of digital transformation and is a long-term research priority area in the EU and worldwide. Access to online quantum computing frameworks, quantum system simulators, and existing quantum computers combined with the progress in high performance computing, materials and electronics for quantum computers accelerated the field over the past decade. This enabled the development of new quantum algorithms and a significant expansion of quantum computing applications. Currently, many problems are being rethought and reformulated as problems for quantum computing, with some notable examples including modelling of quantum systems, quantum chemistry problems, modelling of physical processes and optimisation problems. The field of quantum computing and engineering is a multidisciplinary field and benefiting from both, academic and industrial leadership and contribution.
The programme allows one to build a focus either on the computational side of quantum engineering & computing and or on the physics of quantum computing. At the core of the programme are two modules covering basic and advanced concept of quantum computing that combine fundamental theory, code and algorithms examples and relating it to physics of qubits. Students already familiar with fundamental concepts of quantum computing can opt for just one of the two modules. Other modules that complement the computation direction of the programme include High performance Computation, Data science/machine learning in python. On the physics side, we offer Foundation of Quantum Mechanics and applied quantum mechanics.
