DLT is emerging for a disruption of our current financial infrastructure. As such, Blockchain Finance seeks to combine open-source, peer to peer building blocks into sophisticated products using blockchain technology, seeking to disintermediate and decentralize the traditional financial service industry. This lecture will combine insights on DLT with recent applications from finance.

In recent years quantum computing has become one of the most talked-about technological promises yet it is still often misunderstood. This 3-day course will give you an introduction to the basic principles of quantum computing and related technologies with lectures from both academic experts and business leaders.

Technological advances, digitization and the ability to store and process vast amounts of data has changed the landscape of financial services in recent years. This course will unpack these innovations and technologies underlying these transformations and will reflect on the impacts on the financial markets.

The course covers the key concepts and formalism of quantum information processing. Topics include quantum algorithms, quantum error correction, quantum cryptography, and quantum metrology, with an emphasis on the power of quantum information processing beyond that of classical information processing. The formalism of quantum states, measurements, and channels is developed in detail.

This course aims to introduce the concepts and methods of quantum information theory. It starts with an introduction to the mathematical theory of quantum systems and then discusses the basic information-theoretic aspects of quantum mechanics. Further topics include using information-theoretic methods to analyse foundational questions in physics.

This is an introduction to the physics of quantum mechanics following an information-theoretical approach. We start from the basic postulates, study the behaviour of quantum systems from a single spin to entangled particles in space, and connect the learnings to groundbreaking experiments from the past and the present. This course is well-suited for students with little background in physics.
