Description:

 

Quantum computers are computational devices, which exploit quantum mechanical principles to do computation more powerfully than by conventional computers. The field of quantum computation is rising rapidly as one of the strong possible alternatives to conventional computers, especially with the extra computational power which may be gained from systems operating with the principles of quantum mechanics. A race started among mathematicians, computer scientists, and physicists trying to find new quantum algorithms, quantum complexity theory, and quantum theory of information, beside the big challenge to build real quantum computers. The demand for specialists in Quantum Computing is increasing rapidly, especially in the field of software development, cryptography and machine learning.

 

Scope of the School:

 

This winter school is designed to introduce the participants to the elementary aspects of quantum computing and emphasis on the process of building and using quantum computers. This school is designed by Quantum Computing Alexandria Group AleQCG, a group of computer researchers specialized in quantum algorithms and quantum circuits, and mathematicians specialized in quantum mechanics and group theory.

Aim of the School:

 

The aim of the school is to add to the market computer specialists and mathematicians who are acquainted with quantum computers. By the end of the school, the participants will able to benefit from the quantum computing technology, understand quantum algorithms and quantum circuits, and use quantum computers to develop solutions from different problems. The participants will be assessed during the school to evaluate their understanding. The participants should be able to follow and understand the up-to-date findings in quantum computing in a one day workshop in the schedule of the school.

 

Who should apply to this School?

 

This winter school targets fresh graduate students, M.Sc. students and Ph.D. students as well as early career computer scientists (junior researchers and post-doctoral fellows) with elementary background in linear algebra, computer science and physics to develop their knowledge in the quantum computing field. Researchers and faculty members who are working in all fields of computer science, mathematics and physics who would like to merge quantum computing technology with their research are encouraged to apply.
