The practical use of quantum computer requires the creation of so-called Hybrid System, which (in simplified terms) includes not only a quantum computer but also a classical one. This is because a quantum computer is only suitable for the key part of the task in which it has exponential acceleration, and therefore a classical computer is needed to prepare the input data and process the output data. Thus, Hybrid Systems are essential for any application of quantum computing.
The scope of this workshop is the integration of quantum and classical computers into one Hybrid System. Lectures on this topic will be given by experts from European companies such as Xavier Geoffret from IQM, which manufactures quantum computers, and Cyril Allouche from ATOS, which has developed a hardware simulator of a quantum computer and also manufactures components for supercomputing centres. Finally, there will also be a talk on the basics of one particular application of quantum computing: variational quantum algorithms, given by Petr Zapletal from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany.
This workshop is intended for more advanced participants who have already mastered the general basics of quantum computing and want to learn more about the practical applications of quantum computers.
