In coming years, quantum computing is expected to have a significant impact on many areas of research that can utilise computational modelling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Significant efforts and investments are currently underway in Europe to bolster skills and capacity within quantum computing, as outlined in a recent ENCCS blog post (<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/enccs.se\/news\/2023\/06\/european-hpc-quantum-computing-infrastructure\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/enccs.se\/news\/2023\/06\/european-hpc-quantum-computing-infrastructure\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a further step in that direction, ENCCS is now again joining forces with the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chalmers.se\/en\/centres\/wacqt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wallenberg Centre of Quantum Technologies (WACQT)<\/a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nordiquest.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nordic\/Baltic NordIQuEst<\/a>&nbsp;project to deliver a three-day autumn school covering the fundamentals of quantum computing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WACQT is a national research programme, coordinated from Chalmers, that aims to take Swedish research and industry to the forefront of quantum technology. Their main project is to develop a high-end quantum computer that can solve problems far beyond the reach of the best conventional supercomputers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nord\u0399QuEst brings together a consortium of seven partners from five Nordic and Baltic countries to connect world leading traditional HPC resources and quantum computers across national borders with the aim to establish a quantum computing platform customised to the needs of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to WACQT and NordIQuEst, the school will also be visited by and contributed to by experts from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/algorithmiq.fi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Algorithmiq<\/a>, a Finnish startup which aims to revolutionise life sciences by exploiting the potential of quantum computing to solve currently inaccessible problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The school will cover:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Introduction to key concepts: quantum states, qubits, quantum algorithms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overview of the main QC hardware approaches.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overview of the QC software stack.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Integration of QC with classical computing: hybrid classical\/quantum algorithms and HPC-QC systems.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>QC programming in high-level languages for use cases in optimisation, finance, life science and quantum chemistry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Morning lectures will be combined with afternoon hands-on sessions where participants learn to use high-level QC programming languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants in the school will be given access to\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lumi-supercomputer.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\">LUMI<\/a>, the third-largest supercomputer in the world, and\u00a0<strong>Helmi<\/strong>, a 5-qubit quantum computer using superconducting qubits that is connected to LUMI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Registration and more information is available <a href=\"https:\/\/enccs.se\/events\/2023-10-quantum-autumn-school\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4672,"template":"","meta":[],"event_listing_category":[],"event_listing_type":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hpc.mk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_listing\/4671"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hpc.mk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_listing"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hpc.mk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event_listing"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hpc.mk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hpc.mk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event_listing_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hpc.mk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_listing_category?post=4671"},{"taxonomy":"event_listing_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hpc.mk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_listing_type?post=4671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
