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.
