NHR Quantum Computing and Quantum Machine Learning Tutorial
GWDG, Burckhardtweg 4, 37077 Göttingen
You have heard a lot about quantum computing and would like an understandable introduction?
You would like to learn how quantum computing can be used to tackle interesting problems like machine learning?
Then this two-day tutorial event is exactly for you!
Our focus is to show how quantum computers are programmed today while providing the essential math and physics background required to develop quantum algorithms. The tutorial builds on our successful tutorials at ISC23 (half day), ISC24 (full day), and SC 24 by extending and refining the parts challenging to the participants.
Target Audience:
The event is tailored for interested students and scientists. No prior quantum computing, quantum physics or computer science knowledge is required. The only requirement is very basic Python programming and basic linear algebra math (concept of a matrix and a vector as well as matrix-vector products).
Course structure:
The first part introduces basic ideas and examples of gate-based quantum computing, specifically designed for participants with no prior knowledge.
The second part illustrates quantum classifiers, such as the Variational Quantum Classifier, as an introduction to Quantum Machine Learning.
The tutorial will use the Qiskit framework to show how complex quantum algorithms can be constructed from available building blocks. As participants progress through this tutorial, they will acquire practical insights into the complexities of quantum computing, equipping them with knowledge and skills to explore the potential of quantum algorithms in their respective fields.
This course includes hands-on tutorials on the computer cluster systems of the NHR centers.
Course format:
- Talks: on-site and online (Big Blue Button, only web-browser needed)
- Tutorials: only on-site
