Quantum computing based on superconducting qubit technology is currently one of the leading platforms in the race towards quantum utility. It is a highly multidisciplinary field and requires expertise in subjects like microwave engineering, circuit design, nanofabrication, measurement technology, quantum optics and metrology, as well as cryogenics. Celebrating already its 2nd edition, this school aims […]

Speaker: Prof. Rainer Blatt, University of Innsbruck, IQQQI, AQT GmbH. Title: The Quantum Way of Doing Computations Simulations, Simulations and Measurements. Abstract: In this presentation, we review the fundamental functional principles of quantum information processing and provide an update on the status of the Innsbruck trapped-ion quantum computer. Using strings of trapped ions, we implement […]

Speaker: Benedikt Poggel, Researcher for Quantum Computing at Fraunhofer IKS (Munich) Title: Quantum Computing with a purpose – how do we decide when a solution path is beneficial? Abstract: To prove useful, quantum computing needs to outperform classical algorithms on practically relevant applications. With the simultaneous advances in hardware, theory, software and applications driven by […]
