About the course

The course introduces Quantum Machine Learning (QML) and explores how quantum computing can be combined with classical machine learning methods to solve problems in physics and engineering. You gain hands-on experience developing and training quantum and hybrid models using tools such as Qiskit, PennyLane, and classical ML libraries, and running them on simulators and real quantum hardware.

The course covers topics including variational quantum circuits, quantum neural networks, quantum kernel methods, QAOA, VQE, and quantum annealing, and culminates in a practical QML project.
