In collaboration with École Polytechnique, Université Paris-Saclay and CentraleSupélec we are launching a new master’s degree, Quantum, Mathematics and Informatics (QMI). Please see QMI’s dedicated website for further information.
In addition to QMI, our team is involved in the teaching of a variety of courses.
MATHINF101: A Quantum Hackathon
The quantum hackathon is a week long event. The first two days consist of lectures, TD and TP on the basics of quantum computing, including an introduction to QISKIT and the IBM cloud machines. The second half of the week students are split into teams of 4/5 and will compete in a challenging hackathon for prizes.
Instructors: Peter Brown, Guilhem Doat, Jan Kochanowski, Trisan Nemoz, Augustin Vanrietvelde
PHY101: Micro et nano-physique
An introduction to quantum physics, statistical physics and semiconductor physics, in order to understand the working principles of simple components such as Schottky junctions and MOS transistors.
Instructors: Romain Alléaume
ACCQ206: Introduction to Quantum Technologies
This course introduces the theoretical basics of quantum computing and quantum information theory. We will study qubits (the simplest quantum systems) and how they interact to give rise to quantum computers. We will also learn the basics of entanglement, quantum algorithms, quantum error correction and quantum cryptography. Throughout the course we will give a perspective of the current state of the art and the future of quantum technologies.
Instructors: Romain Alléaume, Peter Brown, Augustin Vanrietvelde
MDI210: Numerical Analysis
This course is devoted to numerical analysis and continuous optimization. The first half covers linear programming (simplex algorithm, duality, max-flow / min-cut) and in the second half we explore nonlinear optimization (gradient methods, Newton’s method).
Instructors: Peter Brown
