  Quantum computing is a fast-growing technology and semiconductor chips are one of the most promising platforms for quantum devices.
  The current bottleneck for scaling is the ability to control semiconductor computing chips quickly and efficiently.

  This course, aimed at students with experience equivalent to a master’s degree in physics, computer science or electrical engineering introduces hands-on machine learning examples for the application of machine learning in the field of semiconductor quantum devices. Examples include coarse tuning into the correct quantum dot regime, specific charge state tuning, fine tuning and unsupervised quantum dot data analysis.

  After the completion of the course students will be able to

  1. assess the suitability of machine learning for specific qubit tuning or control task and
  2. implement a machine learning prototype that is ready to be embedded into their experimental or theoretical quantum research and engineering workflow.

  In the race towards a fault-tolerant quantum computer, the semiconducting qubit platform is the only one that has, thus far, been shown to be scalable. Germanium qubits are a new type of semiconducting qubits, and their progress has been exceptionally fast since the development of the material in 2018.
  You will learn about the physics behind Germanium qubits, their advantages, and challenges compared to other qubit platforms, and the electrical components that are needed to control them. In addition, you will familiarize yourself with different companies from the semiconducting industry, the fabrication facilities, and the latest developments in the field.

  This course is a collaboration between several parties, all of whom have state-of-the-art facilities for fabrication, control, or applications using Germanium qubits. By taking this course you will have the opportunity to learn about Germanium qubits from professionals in the field who are conducting innovative research that is not being done elsewhere.

  The course is a journey of discovery, so we encourage you to bring your own experiences, insights, and thoughts via the forum!

  This course was supported by IGNITE – Integrated Germanium Quantum Technology. This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon Europe Programme under grant agreement no.101069515.
