Manuel G. Algaba (IQM & UAM) Quantum simulation has been one of the main topics of research in the realm of quantum technologies for years. In this talk, we will use it for modelling the hyperpolarization process on a nanodiamond, which can improve medical imaging. We will introduce the basics of hyperpolarization and the quantum…
Carlos Sánchez-Muñoz (IFIMAC-UAM), Invited Speaker The laser, originally described to be as a “solution seeking a problem”, is now a ubiquitous piece of technology and arguably one of the most successful practical applications of quantum mechanics. The key property behind its success is its capability to provide high-intensity light with a narrow linewidth and long…
Vicente P. Soloviev (UPM) Bayesian network structure learning is an NP-hard problem that has been faced by anumber of traditional approaches in recent decades. In this work, a specific type ofvariational quantum algorithm, the quantum approximate optimization algorithm, wasused to solve the Bayesian network structure learning problem. Our results showed thatthe quantum approximate optimization algorithm…
The Quantum Computing Technology group at IFAE (Barcelona) is offering a postdoctoral position on superconducting qubit research. This position is joint between IFAE and the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM-CSIC). The project involves experimental techniques aiming to improve superconducting qubit quality by combining nanofabrication and noise filtering techniques. The project will look at improving…
The Spanish Network of Quantum Information and Quantum Technologies (https://www.ritce2020.hbar.es) would like to announce the creation of the “PhD and young scientist quantum technologies network” (PYSQT). This subgroup is organized by the PhD students of the research groups that participate RITCE, but is open to students and young researchers all over Spain. The goals of…
The CSIC Platform on Quantum Technologies and the International Menendez Pelayo University (UIMP) organize an online summer school with a five-day practical introduction to quantum computing. The school will take place between the 6th and 10th of September 2021. The online lectures will cover topics such as quantum programming (QISKIT), variational quantum computing and machine…
