Applied Quantum Computing Summer School
Develop hands on skills and learn about the potential of Quantum Computing. Includes guest speakers and visits to leading research hubs.
3-14 July 2023
Quantum Computing is making incredible progress in both hardware and software. Although fault-tolerant, full-scale quantum computing is not expected in the next five to ten years, companies must get ready for a technology that will be embedded in many advanced fields. Quantum computers' potential use as a security threat also makes quantum security an urgent and growing topic.
The Applied Quantum Computing summer course offers several perspectives on quantum computing. Students will receive an introduction to understanding and developing applications for this far-sighted and rapidly developing topic.
The course includes a one-day excursion to leading innovation hubs Quantum Delft, Nikhef, QuSoft and The Quantum Experience Amsterdam.
