ENCCS joins forces again this year with NordIQuEst, to deliver a three-day quantum autumn school in early December 2024! The quantum autumn school will be held in Stockholm in hybrid form.

About the Quantum Autumn School

Experts from other organisations and industry will showcase the possibilities offered by quantum computing during the school. The school will cover more advanced topics and tutorials compared to QAS23, which serves as a good starting point for people interested in participating. 

The QAS24 will include:

• Overview of the main state-of-the-art QC hardware approaches. 
• Overview and update on recent developments in QC software stacks.
• Integration of QC with classical computing: hybrid classical/quantum algorithms and HPC+QC systems. 
• QC programming in high-level languages for scientific and industrial use cases.

Recent developments in quantum technologies are bringing the world closer to a technological revolution. The advent of quantum computers able to provide considerable acceleration to important computational tasks. In the coming years, quantum-accelerated high-performance computing is expected to have a significant impact on many areas of research that can utilise computational modelling. 

Format

The Quantum Autumn School combines lectures with afternoon hands-on sessions. Participants will learn to use high-level QC programming languages and run quantum programs on Helmi. 

Furthermore, on-site participants will be treated to social and networking events. A PechaKucha evening where participants can present their research projects in an informal and entertaining format. Online participants will be able to follow a live broadcast of both seminars and hands-on sessions. Additionally, they will be able to participate actively in the school through live Q&A and chat.
