The Jülich Supercomputing Centre will host the spring school on “Quantum Information Processing – Applications on Gate-based an Annealing Systems” from March 27 to March 31, 2023. The school focuses on hands-on experiences in developing and implementing algorithms on both gate-based devices and quantum annealers. Therefore the attendees will make use of the cloud-programming platform of the Jülich UNified Infrastructure for Quantum computing (JUNIQ) to access quantum devices located at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre. The hands-on sessions will be accompanied by several lectures covering basic concepts of gate-based and annealing systems, the design and implementation of use-cases, and big-picture lectures, all given by experts from the field. The spring school will be complemented by a poster session where attendees present their research activities to each other.
Topics: Introduction to gate-based quantum computing, introduction to quantum annealing, formulating QUBO problems, Ising Hamiltonians, Variational Quantum Eigensolvers, Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm, simulation of quantum systems, classical vs quantum optimization
Participants have to present a poster. Please submit an abstract for your poster and a motivation letter stating why attending this spring school will be beneficial for your current and future research. Submit abstract and motivation letter in one pdf file to training-juniq@fz-juelich.de with the header "Abstract Spring School 2023". Your application will only be reviewed if abstract, motivation letter and application (follow the "apply now" button) are submitted.
Please note that this is the registration page for on-site participation. In case you want to participate remotely register here.
