QBN is proud to be the Quantum Technology Partner of WAM 2026!
We’re excited to collaborate with global innovators as we shape the future of technology together.

 In our 5-day Winter School in cooperation with Heilbronn University, we train the experts of tomorrow. ​​

​​​​​​​We invite participants to join us in exploring the phenomena of the quantum world, the differences between today’s system architectures, and the fundamentals of their programming. Starting with the principles of quantum mechanics, we will take an exciting journey toward their industrial application and discuss various use cases from fields such as quantum chemistry and materials science, quantum communication, quantum optimization, and quantum machine learning.

​Through four modules and additional excursions, the Winter School provides comprehensive knowledge in the field of quantum computing,from the basics to hardware, algorithms, and applications. Participants will learn to evaluate this key technology, work with it, and use it in a targeted manner.

​The course aims to provide a general understanding of quantum technology and to build the key competencies necessary for industrial application.

The training is organized by Fraunhofer IAO in collaboration with the Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences.
