119. Quantum randomness, cryptography and imaging: from lab to industry

Valerio Pruneri (ICFO)

5/29/23, 9:30 AM

In the talk I will present examples of projects which have leveraged fundamental quantum physics for developing technologies that have gone into products for cybersecurity, large-scale computation and biological detection

38. Fully passive quantum key distribution

Víctor Zapatero (Vigo Quantum Communication Center)

5/29/23, 10:20 AM

Talk

In recent years, quantum key distribution (QKD) has become a fully fledged application of quantum information science, and QKD services are being supplied by different companies/institutions around the world. However, the practical security of QKD is not well-established yet, mainly due to the difficulty of guaranteeing that real QKD implementations stick to the assumptions and models on which...

125. Integrating a QC in an HPC environment: the future of quantum accelerators in Italy and Europe

Danniele Ottaviani

6/1/23, 9:30 AM

Invited

This talk explores the integration of Quantum Computers (QCs) within High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments and its significance for Italy and Europe. Representing CINECA, the largest Italian supercomputing center and an EuroHPC selected quantum computer hosting entity, we will discuss about the EuroQCS initiative, an European collaboration involving different countries (including...

36. Quantum annealing with superconducting qubits

Pol Forn-Díaz

6/1/23, 10:20 AM

Talk

Analog quantum processors hold a high potential to show quantum advantage
in the near future. These systems may be programmed to operate as quantum
annealers to address optimisation problems, as well as variational quantum
algorithms and quantum simulations. The technology to build coherent analog quantum processors is still in a premature stage and requires dedicated efforts to be able to...
