The Jülich Supercomputing Centre will host the summer school on “Quantum Computing – Applications on Gate-based and Annealing Systems” from August 26-30, 2024. The school focuses on hands-on experiences in developing and implementing algorithms on both gate-based devices and quantum annealers. The hands-on sessions will be accompanied by several lectures covering basic concepts of gate-based and annealing systems, the design and implementation of use-cases, and big-picture lectures, all given by experts from the field.
Topics: Introduction to Gate-Based Quantum Computing, Introduction to Quantum Annealing, Introduction to Quantum Simulation, Formulating QUBO Problems and Ising Hamiltonians, Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm, Emulation of Quantum Systems, Classical vs Quantum Optimization.
For the hands-on sessions, remote-participants must organize access to quantum annealing and gate-based resources themselves. We suggest to use D-Wave Leap and Qiskit to be compatible with the exercises and solutions provided. We will further provide an online platform with a chat-function and file exchange to enable remote-participants to discuss and exchange results.
