CS-308: Introduction to quantum computationThe course introduces the paradigm of quantum computating in an axiomatic way. We introduce the notions of quantum bits, gates, and circuits. We introduce themost important quantum algorithms. We also touch upon error-correcting codes. This course is indep ...
ENG-410: Energy supply, economics and transitionThis course examines energy systems from various angles: available resources, how they can be combined or substituted, their private and social costs, whether they can meet the energy demand, and how the transition to a renewable energy system can be foste ...
PHYS-441: Statistical physics of biomacromoleculesBiological macromolecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins and cytoskeletal filaments are polymers. As such, they share a set of properties that are common to any polymer, which are the focus of this course. Details about the protein folding problem will be cove ...
BIO-483: Neuroscience: behavior and cognitionThe goal is to guide students into the essential topics of Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience. The challenge for the student in this course is to integrate the diverse knowledge acquired from those levels of analysis into a more or less coherent underst ...

COM-406: Foundations of Data ScienceWe discuss a set of topics that are important for the understanding of modern data science but that are typically not taught in an introductory ML course. In particular we discuss fundamental ideas and techniques that come from probability, information the ...
ENV-461: Sustainability assessment of urban systemsThis course enables students to think critically about sustainability and to carry out a sustainability assessment based on problems of urban areas. At the end of the course, students are able to develop their own sustainability assessment using the Sustai ...
NX-436: Advanced methods for human neuromodulationNeuromodulation is an expending field especially in human translational neuroscience and neurotechnology. This course will introduce to different approaches / technologies for neuromodulation, their underlying mechanisms of action and application in humans ...
COM-401: Cryptography and securityThis course introduces the basics of cryptography. We review several types of cryptographic primitives, when it is safe to use them and how to select the appropriate security parameters. We detail how they work and sketch how they can be implemented. ...
