QuantumBW Colloquium

The innovation initiative Quantum^BW launches the new "Quantum^BW Colloquium" on the campus of the Fraunhofer Institute Center Stuttgart. The aim of the colloquium is to promote scientific exchange on hardware and algorithmic topics in the field of quantum computing, to present the latest developments in this research area and to promote the idea of co-development of quantum solutions.

CERN has started its second phase of the Quantum Technology Initiative with 5year-term plan aligned with the CERN research and collaboration objectives. 

This effort is designed to build specific capacity and technology platforms, and support a longer-term strategy to use quantum technology at CERN and in High-Energy-Physics (HEP) in the future. 

Constructed over four specific and focused Centres of Competence, in this talk Dr. Michele Grossi will discuss about the Hybrid Quantum Computing Infrastructures Algorithms and Applications one. After a preliminary introduction about the promise of quantum computing, he will discuss main research directions and results from trainability to expressivity of variational quantum algorithms and touch upon application in several areas of HEP.

In addition to the question of how the next generation of computers will be realized, it is also exciting to see what next-generation computers can be used for. They have promising applications in cryptography, machine learning and optimization. Due to the currently still noisy, small systems of the NISQ era (Noisy Intermediate Scale), the class of variational quantum algorithms is particularly interesting. These and other topics such as quantum error correction, barren plateaus and quantum advantage will be discussed in the colloquium on the following dates:
