Let’s quantum
A first-of-its-kind workshop at CERN saw high-school students coming to the Laboratory to discover the fascinating field of quantum science and technology On 6 May, CERN hosted its first-ever workshop for high-school students on all things quantum. The event was organised jointly by CERN’s Quantum Technology Initiative (QTI) and Finland’s QPlayLearn team in the context

Stochastic quantum simulations for scattering experiments
Wednesday 5 Apr/23 14:00 -15:00 (CEST) Stochastic quantum simulations for scattering experiments This lecture is organised as part of the CERN QTI online lecture series. Simulating many-body quantum systems is a promising task for quantum computers. However, early fault-tolerant devices are not expected to correct arbitrary amounts of error, making the quest for better algorithms

On the construction of useful quantum kernels
Wednesday 29 Mar/23 14:30 -15:30 (CEST) On the construction of useful quantum kernels This lecture is organised as part of the CERN QTI online lecture series. The representation of data is of paramount importance for machine learning methods. Kernel methods are used to enrich the feature representation, allowing better generalisation. Quantum kernels implement efficiently complex

Classical Splitting of Parametrized Quantum Circuits
Wednesday 15 Mar/23 11:00 -12:00 (CET) Classical Splitting of Parametrized Quantum Circuits This lecture is organised as part of the CERN QTI online lecture series. In this talk, we will dive into the topic of barren plateaus and investigate a new method to avoid them. Barren plateaus appear to be a major obstacle for using

Academia and industry come together for third day of CERN’s QT4HEP conference
Today was the third day of the International Conference on Quantum Technologies for High-Energy Physics (QT4HEP) at CERN. Today’s sessions – organised in collaboration with CERN’s Knowledge Transfer (KT) group – were primarily dedicated to industrial co-development. Many of the extreme requirements faced by quantum technologies are shared with particle physics, such as superconducting materials,

Quantum deep: delving further into quantum technologies at the QT4HEP conference
The International Conference on Quantum Technologies for High-Energy Physics (QT4HEP) continued at CERN today. Yesterday’s talks focused primarily on quantum theory and simulation, as well as on quantum sensing, metrology and materials (a summary of the first day can be found here). Today’s talks focused on quantum computing and algorithms, as well as on quantum
