Classical computers solve problems step by step. Quantum computers, by contrast, leverage the principles of quantum physics to process vast numbers of states simultaneously, enabling them to find solutions in cases where classical machines would be inefficient or fail. Quantum informatics is no longer a theoretical concept — it is an emerging field with growing practical relevance.
Students learn to work with algorithms that differ fundamentally from classical approaches. They gain insight into systems where 0 and 1 can coexist and explore how these principles can be applied in computing, cybersecurity, and data analysis. Whether your interest lies in research, advanced technologies, or the limits of computation, this field offers a clear direction for further development.
Several courses are taught by experts from IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center, located on the VSB-TUO campus. IT4Innovations operates the Karolina and Barbora supercomputers, as well as the VLQ quantum computer. Students benefit from access to this state-of-the-art computational infrastructure throughout their studies.
