Quantum computing, one of the most promising areas of science and technology, will be the focus of a new version of Qu Santiago V, the School of Quantum Computing that will take place on April 14, 15 and 16 at the Faculty of Engineering and Sciences of the Diego Portales University (UDP).
The initiative seeks to bring students, researchers and professionals closer to the advances of this discipline that could transform industries as diverse as medicine, logistics, artificial intelligence and the development of new materials.
The meeting will feature the participation of specialists in the field and the support of academic institutions such as the University of Santiago de Chile and the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA).
One of the program's most innovative elements will be the "Quantum for Chile" Hackathon, an intensive day in which participants will work in interdisciplinary teams to tackle challenges related to the use of quantum technologies. During this activity, they will receive specialized technical mentorship, allowing them to experiment with quantum computing tools and applications in a collaborative environment.
The program will include content on the fundamentals of this discipline, such as qubits, operators and quantum noise, as well as a review of algorithms and industrial applications such as QAOA, VQE and QML, now considered key in the development of solutions based on quantum computing.
For Nancy Barraza, an academic at the Faculty of Engineering and Sciences of UDP and a member of the CEDENNA research coordination group, these types of initiatives are essential to train human capital in emerging scientific areas.
“Quantum computing is opening a new technological paradigm. The important thing is that students and young researchers can approach these concepts early on and understand how they can be applied to real-world challenges, from materials design to complex optimization problems,” the researcher noted.
The school seeks precisely to strengthen that knowledge ecosystem, connecting students from different disciplines with specialists working at the forefront of research.
Those interested in participating can register through the form available via the QR code present in the event announcement available on the website of the Faculty of Engineering and Sciences of the UDP and on CEDENNA's networks.
