Quantum Computing Thematic Track in conjunction with the International Conference on Computational Science, June 16-18, 2021, Kraków, Poland

We cordially invite you to submit a paper presenting the results of original research in the area of quantum computing at the Quantum Computing Thematic Track in conjunction to be held in conjunction with the International Conference on Computational Science, June 16-18, 2021, Kraków, Poland.

Quantum computing is a new paradigm that exploits fundamental principles of quantum mechanics to solve problems in various fields of science that are beyond possibilities of classical computing infrastructures. Despite the increasing activity in both theoretical research and hardware implementations, reaching the state of useful quantum supremacy is still an open question. This workshop aims to provide a forum for computational scientists, software developers, computer scientists, physicists and quantum hardware providers to understand and discuss research on current problems in quantum informatics.

Applications are invited for the position of Postdoctoral Researcher to work with Peter Bierhorst at the University of New Orleans located in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. The duties of the postdoctoral researcher will be to perform research drawn from the fields of quantum information, quantum nonlocality, and/or applications to device-independent quantum information protocols. While this position is in the mathematics department, applications are welcomed from students and researchers with backgrounds in physics, computer science, or other related fields.

QWebinar: "Careers opportunities in quantum technologies" by Araceli Venegas-Gomez We invite you to the next QWorld seminar. During this meeting, Araceli Venegas-Gomez will talk about the quantum technologies worldwide, from the funding of the field to some examples of real use cases.

From the speaker: “I will introduce an overview of quantum technologies worldwide, from the funding of the field to some examples of real use cases. Then I will focus on career opportunities for people who want to be involved in the field of quantum technologies, and how at QURECA we support anyone who wants to join the quantum revolution.”

We offer a 3.5-years PhD position for a motivated researcher to join our work on adaptive quantum sensing. Our goal is to develop an automatic quantum sensor, based on a single spin in diamond, enhanced by machine learning algorithms. The sensor will automatically optimize its settings to operate in conditions of maximum sensitivity, minimizing the estimation times.

We offer a 3.5-years PhD position for a motivated researcher to join our work on spin qubits in silicon carbide (SiC). Colour centres in SiC have recently be shown to uniquely combine excellent spin properties with ultrastable optical transitions for spin-photon interfacing. Our goal is to exploit the technological properties of this semiconductor, with established growth, doping and fabrication, to develop quantum devices to build building blocks for the future Quantum Internet.

We invite you to the next QWorld seminar. During this meeting, Sarah Kaiser will talk about the open-source quantum software community.

QWebinar: "Growing the open source quantum software community" by Sarah Kaiser

From the speaker: When we are developing new technology, it is our communities that develop and drive us further than any individual effort could. We have lots of examples of how communities have helped shape other technologies and in particular open source software projects and people that now underpin much of our current software ecosystems. I want to share with you my journey from academia working as an open-source quantum developer at the Unitary Fund, what I have learned about the role that open source software has to play in developing quantum technologies, and how you can help grow our quantum community.

At Xanadu, we are learners, innovators, researchers, collaborators and problem solvers. We are creating something that has never been built before. What we are doing is extremely hard, the classic moon shot. Few people in their life will be able to be a part of something like this, where if we are successful, the technologies we develop will solve some of the world’s most challenging problems, and literally change the world. And that is something to be excited about!

A Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) position is available in the area of quantum technologies, supported by an Innovate UK project Assurance for Quantum Random Number Generators. This project is a major collaboration with several industrial partners. The aim is to work with such companies, studying their current commercial and near commercial quantum random number generators (QRNGs) in order to accurately assess the amount of quantum randomness they are generating.
