• Students can model problems in Combinatorics and Algorithms with the help of the concepts studied in this course. Moreover, they are capable of solving them by applying established methods.
• Students are able to discover and verify further logical connections between the concepts studied in the course.
• For a given problem, the students can develop and execute a suitable approach, and are able to critically evaluate the results.

• Students are able to work together in teams. They are capable to use mathematics as a common language.
• In doing so, they can communicate new concepts according to the needs of their cooperating partners. Moreover, they can design examples to check and deepen the understanding of their peers.

Quantum computing is among the most exciting applications of quantum mechanics. Quantum algorithms can efficiently solve computational problems that have a prohibitive runtime on traditional computers. Such problems include, for instance, factoring of integer numbers or energy estimation problems from quantum chemistry and material science.

This course provides an introduction to the topic. An emphasis will be put on conceptual and mathematical aspects.

• Rigorous understanding of how quantum algorithms work and the ability to analyze them
• Connection of concepts in quantum mechanics and computer science
• Basic knowledge required to start programming a quantum computer
• Ability to solve exercises related to quantum algorithms
  

After completing this module, students are expected to be able to work on subject-specific tasks alone or in a group and to present the results appropriately. Moreover, students will be trained to identify and defuse misleading statements related to quantum computing, which can often be found in popular media.
