Computer systems are fast evolving toward more efficiency and enhanced functionalities according to three major, interconnected scientific fields:

distributed systems, as many applications are deployed spatially over networks to enable ubiquity,
high-performance computing to take advantage of most recent parallel computers in scientific computing and data analytics applications,
quantum computing to exploit quantum parallelism and obtain otherwise unreachable performance gains.

The QDCS Master’s program will enable you to acquire deep knowledge of these three fields through both advanced theoretical courses and extensive practice of programming techniques.

Distributed systems deal with protocols and algorithms that allow connectivity and efficient functionality for network based systems, like Internet, Cloud, sensor networks, computing clusters, blockchain distributed systems, and even microbiological circuits. For these systems, the challenges include synchronization, security, concurrency and robustness. Similar issues arise in the field of High Performance Computing (HPC) which aims at efficiently solving computationally intensive problems in applied science or artificial intelligence. HPC pushes modern parallel computer architectures to their limits by using various forms of parallelism, data representations and code optimization. So does distributed computing by means of various methods of communication and algorithmics. They thereby draw the frontier between what can be achieved within the realm of classical Computer Science, and what will only be accessible through a new paradigm: that of Quantum Computing. Quantum Computing and Quantum Information feature novel algorithms and protocols, bringing radical performance gains, together with their own set of conceptual and technical challenges.
