CWI highly values education. CWI researchers not only supervise and inspire the CWI PhD students, but also aim at contributing to teaching Master's students at universities. See the overview of CWI's current involvement in teaching courses in the Netherlands below.
CWI is a research institute and does not have education as an institutional task. However, many of the senior researchers of CWI contribute to education via an affiliation or part-time appointment at one of the Dutch universities.
The courses they teach are listed below in chronological order, starting with the earliest upcoming course.
A major claim to fame of quantum computers is that they will be able to solve some problems significantly faster than believed to be possible on a classical computer. The design of further quantum algorithms is an exciting active field of research, and there is still much left to explore in understanding which problems can be sped up by quantum computers, and by how much.
In this course, students will learn about various advanced topics in quantum algorithms and algorithm design, as well as techniques for understanding for which problems it is possible to get a quantum speedup, and by how much.
