    Solving Complex Computational Problems with Supercomputers and Quantum Computers

    17 Oct 2026
    Lecture Hall Alfa, Faculty of Information Studies, Ljubljanska cesta 31a, Novo mesto
    Rudolfovo – Science and Technology Centre Novo mesto invites you to a practical workshop as part of Exascale Day – SLING Open Doors, on Friday, October 17, 2025, at 10:00 AM, in Lecture Hall Alfa, Faculty of Information Studies, Ljubljanska cesta 31a, Novo mesto. Participants will learn how to solve challenging Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problems effectively using the BiqBin solver. The workshop will cover how to run BiqBin locally on a personal computer or on a supercomputer, and how to connect it with the D-Wave quantum computer to leverage the advantages of quantum computing. As a practical example, the application of QUBO models for portfolio optimization will be presented. The 90-minute workshop offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience with advanced optimization methods that combine high-performance computing and quantum computing. Attendance is limited to ten participants, so early registration is recommended. Register by emailing: katja.sinur@rudolfovo.eu

    UIK Summer School: Fundamental Science with Quantum Computers and Simulators

    14 Sep 2026 — 17 Sep 2026
    San Sebastián/Donostia
    The UIK Summer School, "Fundamental Science with Quantum Computers and Simulators," scheduled to be held in San Sebastián/Donostia from September 14 to 17, 2026, will offer advanced training on how programmable quantum devices facilitate new approaches to fundamental physics problems. The school will emphasize both theoretical and experimental perspectives, showcasing how quantum computers and simulators can be used to explore many-body physics, quantum information processing, and emergent phenomena beyond the capabilities of classical computation. A key aim is to encourage interaction and knowledge exchange among graduate students, early-career researchers, and leading international experts in the field. The program features major experimental platforms, including superconducting circuits, trapped ions, Rydberg atom arrays, and ultracold atomic systems, along with the theoretical frameworks that connect these platforms to fundamental questions in quantum physics. Topics cover quantum simulation of strongly correlated systems, quantum error mitigation and control, variational and hybrid quantum algorithms, and the use of near-term quantum devices to study nonequilibrium dynamics, entanglement, and quantum phase transitions. Confirmed speakers and lecturers, such as David Hayes, Antoine Browaeys, Andreas Wallraff, Francesca Ferlaino, Luca Tagliacozzo, Pedram Roushan, Antonio Acín, Kristan Temme, Markus Müller, and Hans Peter Büchler, ensure the program spans both experimental and theoretical frontiers.

    Q-Works

    24 Aug 2026 — 25 Aug 2026
    Pisa
    As quantum computers are starting to be integrated into HPC facilities, challenges arise across the full stack to ensure effective HPC–quantum cooperation. These challenges range from integrating heterogeneous software stacks, to efficiently allocating and scheduling shared resources, and identifying suitable near-term applications that justify on-premise HPC integration as opposed to exclusive cloud-based access. Q‑WORKS aims to gather HPC and quantum experts to collect the latest advancements in the integration of quantum computers within HPC facilities. The workshop serves as a venue for multiple, sometimes non-intersecting communities — quantum software experts, systems software experts, researchers from hosting entities, representatives from European and nationally funded projects (e.g., EUROQHPC‑I, EuroHPC Centres of Excellence), and hardware vendors — to convene and exchange experiences on integrating and programming quantum computers in an HPC environment.

    A guided hike into quantum machine learning

    08 Jul 2026 — 09 Jul 2026
    Maison de la Simulation, Gif-sur-Yvette
    The lecture will cover a basic introduction to quantum neural networks, quantum kernels, and data encoding techniques, with hands-on sessions for each. More advanced topics such as barren plateaus, expressivity, and "application <-> hardware" pipelines will be brushed over but not covered in detail.

    Quantum Applications Summit: from pilot projects to future industry-scale solutions

    15 Jun 2026
    Milano
    Organized by the Quantum Computing & Communication Observatory of Politecnico di Milano, the Quantum Applications Summit marks the Observatory’s first public event entirely dedicated to exploring real-world quantum use cases that will shape the next decade. This summit is designed to bridge the gap between groundbreaking pilot projects and the complex realities of large-scale industrial deployment. Italian and international business speakers will share their companies’ use cases, investigating how quantum computing could offer solutions to complex problems across finance, energy, pharmaceuticals, and beyond. Each presentation will highlight the project’s objectives, key challenges, and future development paths, with a special focus on the quantum algorithms driving these innovations. The summit will also feature discussions on quantum communication use cases, examining their potential to reshape the future of cryptographic security. By bringing together industry leaders and experts, the Quantum Applications Summit aims to accelerate the transition from pilot projects to industry-scale solutions, fostering a deeper understanding of quantum technology’s potential to transform various sectors.
