ERASMUS+ BIP Berlin 2026 »High-Performance Schrödinger’s Cat«
Participants to the ERASMUS+ BIP Berlin 2026 will learn the basics of the theoretical fundament of high-performance computing through dedicated lectures on related topics on-line and on-site. Furthermore, learners will work on projects where they will gain and develop problem solving and communication skills by working and interacting with others in international teams. At the end of the BIP and as part of a competition, students will present their project results in plenum. The most creative and successful ones will get a special recognition.

WebsiteThe ERASMUS+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) Berlin 2026’s main goal is twofold: to foster international exchange among students and faculty from different countries, and to gain knowledge about some of the high-performance technologies that may be defining for the technological development of future digital systems. Drawing on theoretical and practical work, this BIP will give participants the possibility to know firsthand how high-performance technologies are designed, developed, and deployed, as well as under which specialized software and hardware conditions this is possible. Highlights of the BIP will be the visits to three different institutions in Berlin where high-performance computation is a already reality: the Quantum facilities of the Deutsche Telekom AG, the High-Performance Computing center at Zuse Institute Berlin, as well as the research and lab facilities for Reservoir Computing of the Technical University Berlin.
Planned period of virtual training activity: 3 sessions of 3x45 min. each, between May 18 and May 27, 2026
Short description of the virtual component:
- General information about the organisation and characteristics of the BIP
- Introduction to Quantum Computing and other high-performance technologies
- Introduction to software and hardware for advanced technologies
- Introduction to teamwork and to the BIP student projects for the physical week
