Summer semester 2026

The entire organization of the courses takes place via the Moodle learning platform. If you would like to take part in one of the courses listed below, please register for the relevant Moodle course.

Students learn about basic abstract data types in computer science, efficient data structures for their implementation and efficient graph and optimization algorithms. They familiarize themselves with algorithmic design techniques (e.g. divide-and-conquer, branch-and-bound), deepen their skills in runtime analysis and acquire further skills for evaluating algorithms. They also expand their programming experience with Java and now also use advanced language aspects such as generic programming.

In the accompanying exercises, participants apply what they have learned to the design and implementation of their own algorithms and data structures, among other things.

By using different physical principles than those used in traditional computers, quantum computers offer potential for significantly more efficient calculation of suitable problems. The first machines, programming environments and applications are now available. Quantum computers are often operated in combination with supercomputers, with different resources taking on different tasks.

 

The field of quantum computing is still in its infancy and there are a large number of current research projects. In this seminar we will concentrate on the software area. Possible topics are programming environments for quantum computers (e.g. Qiskit, Cirq); programming models and execution environments to control the cooperation between quantum and supercomputers (e.g. XACC, CUDA-Quantum) or more specific research topics such as the parallelization of the execution of large quantum circuits (Qdislib).

 

Each participant will choose a topic from the scientific literature or online sources and present it in a talk and a written paper. The improvement of the presentation style, among other things through mutual feedback, is a major concern of the seminar.
