General information
Quantum Computing for Chemistry – The Next Revolution is the first workshop of its kind in Europe, co-organized by Qunasys and the EquipEx+/PEPR Quantique project aQCess of the University of Strasbourg, as part of the QAREER pilot program of the QTEdu (Quantum Technolgy Education) coordination and support action of the EU Quantum flagship
The event will take place at the ISIS institute of the University of Strasbourg and the CNRS – one of the leading research institutes in France and internationally. Founded in 2002 by Nobel Prize Laureate Mr Jean-Marie Lehn, it focuses on developing and promoting top level multidisciplinary fundamental and applied research at the interface between Chemistry, Physics and Biology
The training material and instructors are well-experienced helping the workforce get quantum ready working with more than 50 companies in QPARC, Japan’s largest quantum computing application research community focused on industry use cases, to get quantum ready, test use case applicability, and benchmark algorithm suitability for near-term computers
