Schedule of the QCHS Summer School 2022

Every morning will start with a keynote lecture focused on quantum hardware, thus presenting various methods of realizing and processing quantum information. The second part of each morning session will consist of a hybrid hardware-software lecture which will treat topics that lay at the intersection of experiment and theory. These will build the bridge towards the software-oriented lecture in the afternoon which will tackle theoretical aspects of quantum information processing. The lectures will be followed each day by a hands-on session where participants will simulate a quantum computer and implement quantum algorithms using Julia, a fast and dynamic programming language. Finally, two poster sessions and two panel discussion will be organized throughout the week. The former will give the students a chance to present their recent projects and works in progress to their peers; while the panel discussions will offer them the opportunity interact with outstanding researchers from both academia and the private sector.

The figure above presents in a glance the confirmed lecturers for the QCHS 2022 summer school. The blanks spots will be filled in progressively as the latter confirm their presence.
