Special Topics in Electronic Engineering

The course gives an introduction in the basics of quantum computing, focusing on the hardware choices theat need to be made, the possible micro-architecture but will also insist on the development of quantum applications. The latter will involove the presenation of the quantum gates and will provide exercises to the students to develop small scale quantum circuits.
The intended quantum platform that can be used by the students is the Qiskit platform, developend by IBM, and which is freely available on the Interntet.
There will be another and second part of the course as we will also focus on the use of DNA as a data storage technology. As the terms suggests, it is based on the omnipresent DNA and it has already been developed as a storage device. The students will get exercises that will show how digital data can be store in a DNA format and how the DNA-data can be translated in quantum concepts such that algorithms can be executed.
