Emerging computational infrastructures of the future, such as quantum computing, will play a pivotal role in the research on materials for the energy transition. Quantum computing is specifically suited for the computational modeling of materials and chemical processes at an accurate quantum-mechanical level.
This event will gather present and future pioneers of the application of quantum computing to the research on materials and chemistry for the energy transition. It will comprise two parts – an autumn school for students and an expert workshop. The purpose of the workshop is to share experience, first results, and views on the prospects of different quantum-computing approaches to tackle specific problems in this research field.
The workshop is accompanied by an autumn school addressing students and computational scientists new to this field, with the aim to convey both conceptual understanding and first hands-on experience in the application of quantum computing in energy materials research.
