World Quantum Day 2022
World Quantum Day, celebrated on 14 April, is an initiative by quantum scientists from 65+ countries, aimed at promoting public understanding of quantum science and technology around the world. It is a decentralised and bottom-up initiative, inviting all quantum scientists, engineers, educators, communicators, entrepreneurs, technologists, historians, philosophers, artists and their organisations to run their own

CERN QTI announces new seminar series
One of the supporting goals of the CERN Quantum Technology Initiative is to raise public awareness and understanding of the science and technology involved, as well as to contribute to the training and education of young researchers in the field. This was already laid out during one of the interventions at the QTI Community Workshop

Quantum neural networks force fields generation
Accurate molecular force fields are of paramount importance for the efficient implementation of molecular dynamics techniques at large scales. In the last decade, machine learning methods have demonstrated impressive performances in predicting accurate values for energy and forces when trained on finite-size ensembles generated with theoretical techniques. At the same time, quantum computers have recently

Quantum integration of elementary particle processes
In particle physics, integration methods and Monte Carlo programs play an essential role as they are the central link between theory and experiment. At the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), Monte Carlo simulations are crucial as they simulate all the scattering processes generated in the experiments. By generating theoretical events according to the underlying distribution, they

Efficient Representation for Simulating U(1) Gauge Theories on Digital Quantum
Dorota Maria Grabowska – CERN QTI’s coordinator for Quantum Theory and Simulation – is a co-author of a recently published quantum paper introducing a resource-efficient representation for U(1) gauge theory simulation on digital quantum computers. Find out more about it and download the document below. The Standard Model of Particle Physics encapsulates most of our

Style-based quantum generative adversarial networks for Monte Carlo events
Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) look for new physics by comparing real experimental data with statistical simulations produced by Monte Carlo event generators. These simulations generate 'fake' data based on everything scientists know about their experimental setup and the known laws of physics. Any deviations between the experiments and simulations could provide hints

The CERN Quantum Technology Initiative unveils its strategic roadmap shaping CERN’s role in the next quantum revolution
The CERN Quantum Technology Initiative (CERN QTI) reaches its next milestone today, with the unveiling of a first roadmap defining its medium- and long-term quantum research programme. The roadmap details the CERN QTI goals and strategy, and outlines its governing structure and the composition of its international advisory board, as well as the activities to

CERN’s online introductory course on quantum computing is now available in Russian
On the initiative of volunteers organised by https://russol.info, the CERN online introductory lectures on quantum computing have been translated* into Russian. The first-ever translation of the CERN course targets the Russian-speaking audience and is now publicly available via: russol.info/quantum. The website contains 14 hours of video lectures with Russian subtitles, full transcripts, illustrated abstracts and
