Quantum Computing – Status and Prospects

The Arnold Sommerfeld Center for Theoretical Physics at the LMU in Munich will host a school on “Quantum Computing -- Status and Prospects” in the period October 6-10, 2025.

The school is primarily aimed at PhD and advanced master students, but more senior researchers are very welcome to apply as well. It will give an overview over the status and prospects of the field of quantum computing, including both introductory and more advanced topics and covering theoretical as well as experimental aspects.

Topics include: quantum algorithms, quantum complexity, quantum error correction, quantum information, quantum networks, quantum simulations, applications to quantum chemistry, topological quantum computing and the following experimental platforms: atoms, photons, superconducting qubits and trapped ions.
