University of Zurich, 21-25 July 2025
Registration is now open!
In 2025, we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the discovery of quantum mechanics, with the UNESCO International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. In fact, Schrödinger’s equation was discovered in 1925 at the University of Zurich! As part of a year of festivities, the Digital Society Initiative of UZH and the Institute of Physics of UZH are happy to host a 5-day summer school on quantum computing!
The summer school will run take place 21-25 July 2025 in the City Campus of UZH. It is aimed at bachelors, masters and PhD students from the fields of physics, mathematics and computer science, who are interested in quantum computing and would like to learn a solid base on basic topics and current research approaches.
Our lecturers are world-leading researchers and will cover subjects spanning from “what is a qubit?” to quantum algorithms, quantum complexity theory, quantum games, error correction, quantum cryptography and quantum chemistry.

Important dates
- 19th May: Registration opens
- 30th June: Registration deadline for in-person participants
- 21th-25th July: Quantum Computing summer school 2025
The full schedule of the school will be announced in June. The school starts on Monday morning and ends on Friday early afternoon.
Recommended background
Basics of linear algebra and complex numbers are necessary to follow the lectures. Knowledge of quantum mechanics helps, but is not required, as the basic building blocks will be introduced on the first day of the school. Exception: basic quantum mechanics knowledge is useful to follow the quantum chemistry lecture.
Online participation: The lectures will be live-streamed on Youtube and stay publicly available online afterwards. A dedicated server will allow for online participants to ask questions.
