Selected Topics in Quantum Computing

Hauptseminar im Wintersemester 2025/26

This lecture will be held in english.

TUM students: register/apply for a spot using the usual TUM matching system. There will be no pre-course meeting. The first meeting will be a kick-off meeting at the beginning of the semester.

Seminar spots are in great demand. Therefore, anyone who does not participate in the kick-off event (without giving notice) will lose their seminar spot, which will be re-assigned to another student.

The seminar will imitate a scientific conference. That means:

  • Students will prepare a conference paper (technical report) on a chosen topic and submit it to the seminar organizer (the fictitious program committee).
  • When the first version has been submitted, each participant will be assigned one or two papers to review (according to a template), so that each paper will receive two reviews. This should increase the quality of the submissions and familiarize the participants with the process of scientific publishing.
  • After receiving the reviews, the authors have another 2 weeks to address the comments/suggestions. Both the quality of the submitted reviews and the implementation of the comments will be considered in the grading process.
  • Finally, students present their updated final paper at simulated conference at the end of the term. The conference will run over one or two days at the end of the term. The exact date and the agenda will be announced below.

Master students will be assigned a topic to work on alone, Bachelor students will work on a topic in pairs.
