This is a preview for the final course materials, available in July 2025.
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to quantum computing, covering fundamental concepts, quantum algorithms, and practical programming with the popular quantum framework qrisp that really enables a focus on the underlying concepts. It is designed for students that are interested more in the computing than the physics perspective and aims to equip them with the knowledge and skills needed to understand and work with quantum computers.
Solutions for the exercises are provided when logged in with an instructor's account.
