Dear all,
It is a pleasure to share the news of our incoming summer school on quantum computing, to take place at UZH, 21-25 July 2025.
The deadline for registration is the 30th of June. We'd
appreciate it if you could announce the school with your students
(undergrads, masters and PhD).
Website and registration: https://qc.squids.ch/
In 2025, we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the discovery of
quantum mechanics, with the UNESCO International Year of Quantum
Science and Technology. In fact, Schrödinger’s equation was
discovered in 1925 at the University of Zurich! As part of a year
of festivities, the Digital Society Initiative of UZH and the
Institute of Physics of UZH are happy to host a 5-day summer
school on quantum computing!
The summer school will run take place 21-25 July 2025 in the City
Campus of UZH. It is aimed at bachelors, masters and PhD students
from the fields of physics, mathematics and computer science, who
are interested in quantum computing and would like to learn a
solid base on basic topics and current research approaches.
Our lecturers are world-leading researchers and will cover
subjects spanning from “what is a qubit?” to quantum algorithms,
quantum complexity theory, quantum games, error correction,
quantum cryptography and quantum chemistry.
Lectures:
- Quantum Algorithms, by Ronald de Wolf, CWI & University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands
- Quantum Complexity, by Tony Metger, ETH Zurich, Switzerland
- Fault-tolerant Quantum Computing, by Manuel Rispler, FZ Jülich, Germany
- Quantum Cryptography, by Ramona Wolf, University of Siegen, Germany
- Quantum Games, by Evert van Niewenburg, University of Leiden, The Netherlands
- Quantum Chemistry, by Freek Witteveen,
University of Copenhagen, Denmark
Best wishes,
Lídia del Rio, Nuriya Nurgalieva and Titus Neupert
