CEMSE Tutorial in Quantum Computing

-

B19 L3 H1

With the end of the Moore’s law, it became imperative to find new principles for computing that can avoid the current physical limitations. Among the promising approaches is Quantum Computing which has resulted in substantial national investments in research and development in this area by many nations. This first tutorial is designed to target scientists, engineers and mathematicians who are interested in this rapidly growing field but have not yet invested enough time in learning about it.

Introduction to Quantum Computing

-

Online Event

In this presentation, we will review past, present, and future eras of quantum computing - such as Near Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) and Utility Scale Quantum (USQ) eras – and cover their respective overarching aspirations and limitations. Once properly situated, we can identify the different roles that academic and industrial players are taking to drive this emerging technology and circumvent current systems' limitations.

Pasqal quantum computing: from hardware to applications

B9 L2 H2

During this talk, we shall deep dive into the neutral atoms quantum machine of PASQAL to learn what makes such a machine tick. Following along the full stack approach of Pasqal, we will focus on how such a computer can be used to address hard combinatorial problems, machine learning-related tasks, as well as quantum simulation-based problems present in all walks of life.
