Fireplace chat as part of the QC Optimization Challenge at the QAR-Lab

This practical course (12 ECTS) conveys the ability to model optimization problems for quantum computers, as well as an introduction in practical work- ing with existing quantum computers. For this, there are currently four com- puters available in the QAR-Lab:

  • IBM Q System One
  • Rigetti Aspen-9
  • Fujitsu DAU
  • D-Wave Advantage

In cooperation with Bayer, E.ON und Evonic, assignments with strong relevance for practical applications get assigned. In the past, BASF, BMW, SAP and Siemens have already been our partners.
24 students forming four groups, each consisting of six students, get the possibility to perform and compare their assignment on two computers each. The practical course concludes with a presentation of results in front of our industry partners.

How a quantum advantage arises

Quantum computers are currently taking over the world. They are available from Google, IBM, Rigetti, and there are annealers from D-Wave and Fujitsu. A variety of startups are developing the latest approaches and technologies. It is possible to buy such machines or rent computing time via the cloud. As a co-processor it is supposed to complement high-performance computers. At the same time, there are discussions about the quantum advantage and the economy is waiting for the possibility to solve tasks that are unsolvable today, to get a faster and better performance.
