Month: September 2024

Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste has established the SciQC unit for Scientific and Quantum Computing. The unit is part of its IT Group and consists of a diverse team of scientists and engineers from various disciplines. SciQC builds on prior experience in data analysis and mathematics and is tasked with exploring practical applications of quantum computing for synchrotron and FEL applications, including X-ray imaging and spectroscopy.

The SciQC unit is located at Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste, in the Area Science Park (Basovizza), and is led by George Kourousias (Elettra).

Date: 10th to 12th September 2024

Fourth school on quantum foundations dedicated to Prof. GianCarlo Ghirardi.

Quantum Mechanics is extremely successful in predicting experimental results and has a vast range of applications. Nonetheless, many unanswered questions remain. The school will introduce Master and PhD students to the still outstanding problems in our understanding of quantum foundations.
To give a deep look into the foundations of quantum mechanics, lectures will be given by experts in the field. An extensive time will be dedicated to selected contributed talks.

The conference is supported by the University of Trieste, INFN and QUCOM. 

Date: 19th September 2024 We are pleased to invite you to the one-day Symposium on “Recent Trends in Quantum Computing and Quantum Technologies” at the University of Trieste (Aula Stasi, Leonardo Building ICTP) on September 19th. This event marks the conclusion of this year’s “Colloquium Series in Theoretical and Computational Physics” which has featured a range of seminars exploring active directions of research in quantum matter and their applications. The symposium will bring together young researchers from Trieste’s research institutes and renowned external experts to present their latest findings. Open to everyone (especially students) this symposium offers a unique opportunity to strengthen collaborations in the Trieste quantum community and establish new connections. On behalf of the organising committee (Andrea Trombettoni, Francesco Scazza) at the Physics Department of the University of Trieste.
