Lecture: 2 h per week

Exercise: 1 h per week

• Basic introduction to algorithms and computing

• The Qubit and entanglement thereof

• Basics of quantum algorithms

• Advanced quantum algorithms

• Implementation of QuBits and quantum computers

• Hands-on circuits

After active participation in the course, the students will be familiar with the basic concepts of quantum computation and the implementation of quantum algorithms. They will be able to apply their knowledge in the assessment and creation of quantum algorithms and the development of quantum information systems.

The intended learning outcome is to introduce the students to the basic usage of quantum bits for information processing. To provide further insight, the course will expand this concept on multipartite systems and introduce the concept of entanglement.

In a further step we shall see how individual quantum operations tie together to create algorithms. Important algorithms, such as the quantum Fourier transformation, the algorithms of Shor and Grover will be discussed. To relate the abstract knowledge on quantum algorithms to practical applications, real-world implementations of quantum computers will be discussed.
