Quantum^BW Colloquium

The innova­tion initia­tive Quantum^BW launches the new “Quantum^BW Collo­quium” on the campus of the Fraunhofer Insti­tute Center Stuttgart. The aim of the collo­quium is to promote scien­tific exchange on hardware and algorith­mic topics in the field of quantum comput­ing, to present the latest devel­op­ments in this research area and to promote the idea of co-development of quantum solutions.

In addition to the question of how the next gener­a­tion of comput­ers will be realized, it is also excit­ing to see what next-generation comput­ers can be used for. They have promis­ing appli­ca­tions in cryptog­ra­phy, machine learn­ing and optimiza­tion. Due to the currently still noisy, small systems of the NISQ era (Noisy Inter­me­di­ate Scale), the class of varia­tional quantum algorithms is partic­u­larly inter­est­ing. These and other topics such as quantum error correc­tion, barren plateaus and quantum advan­tage will be discussed in the colloquium.
