QUIP Quantum Sensing Summer School 2025
17. – 22.08.2025 in Mainz, Germany
Join us for a Summer School on Quantum Sensing at the frontiers of modern physics. As we celebrate the centennial of the discovery of quantum mechanics, we invite master students, graduate students and early-career researchers to explore how these fundamental principles are driving a new technological revolution.
Our intensive one-week program will focus on cutting-edge applications in quantum sensing. The school will address a broad portfolio including photonic quantum sensing, spins as quantum sensors to metrology applications like optical clocks. Leading experts will guide participants through both theoretical frameworks and hands-on laboratory sessions, showcasing how quantum sensing is pushing the boundaries of measurement precision to unprecedented levels. Participants are encouraged to bring a Poster, details will follow.
Discover how the quantum mysteries that challenged Einstein a century ago are today enabling technologies that were once thought impossible.
Places will be allocated on a “first-come first-serve” basis.

Winter School Quikstart 2024
The Quantum Initiative Rhineland-Palatinate (QUIP) hosted the QUIP International Winter School on Quantum Machine Learning 2024 “Quickstart 2024” last week. Students and young researchers from all over the world as well as industry came together to discuss the latest developments, challenges and applications in this field.
The detailed press release of the Fraunhofer ITWM can be found here.
Winter School 2024
Period of time: 19.02-23.02.2024
Duration: 1 Week
Subject: Quantum Machine Learning
Preequisites: In order to cater for the different levels of prior knowledge of the participants, we offer optional modules on introduction to quantum computing (Basics QC) and introduction to classical deep learning (Basics DL) on the first two days. These do not have to be attended by all participants.
Description: The QUIP Winter School brings together students, young researchers and industry to discuss the latest developments, challenges and applications in the field of quantum machine learning. The programme offers exciting courses and varied talks by speakers from different application areas of quantum machine learning. Experts from our institute will also give talks on their research in the field.
