Our new paper with Simon Goorney and Marilu Chiofalo titled "Educating to the “Culture” of Quantum Technologies: A Survey Study on Concepts for Public Awareness" is finally published in the European Journal of STEM Education! 🎉 DOI: https://lnkd.in/dUpypaGU We really want to thank deeply to the QTEdu CSA and the quantum education community for their inputs to the paper. Some TLDR bulletpoints about it: - We argue for a discussion on whether QT is primarily a domain of quantum physics or did it (especially fields like QC) grew out of it and on their way of becoming a subdiscipline of their own. - What are the constraints of outreach environments and which QT concepts are the most important ones to cover in these efforts? - We call for establishing Physics Outreach Research (POR) as a valid research programme. - Trigger warning: If you are a "spin" fan, you might not like the findings of our survey 😅 #quantumtechnologies #education #outreach #survey #publication #science

🆕 Freshly published paper on medical research with the help of quantum computers in Nature Physics. The article is the result of a collaboration between the Universität Wien, Boehringer Ingelheim, BASF, Google, QC Ware Corp. and the University of Toronto. 👩🔬 The researchers see great advantages for quantum computers, particularly in research into alternating effects. Despite enormous progress in both hardware and software, the exact quantum mechanical calculation of the interaction energy of two molecules on classical computers is still a major challenge. 🎇 We in the team of Artificial Intelligence Center Hamburg (ARIC) and Hamburg Quantum Innovation Capital (hqic), therefore, have our own department that deals with the topic of life science. We always think AI and quantum computers together in order to take into account and combine the advantages of both worlds in the best possible way. 🤝 We are very pleased to see that science and industry are moving ever closer together to advance research into quantum technologies.

I’m excited to announce that I’ve started my bachelor’s thesis Fraunhofer IAO in Stuttgart! My topic is the efficient optimization of quantum neural networks, which allows me to combine both of my study subjects: physics and applied computer science. This unique intersection is what makes quantum computing so fascinating to me—it's a field where we explore whether we can improve our algorithmic approaches by fundamentally changing our computing principles, such as leveraging superposition and entanglement. I am looking forward to deepen my knowledge in the areas of gradient-free and gradient-based optimisers, the opportunities of quantum data, the trainability of quantum circuits, bayesian hyperparameter optimisation and much more. I’m really looking forward to collaborating with the talented team here and expanding my knowledge in this rapidly evolving domain. #QuantumComputing #NeuralNetworks #Optimization #Bayes #BachelorThesis #Research #Physics #ComputationalNeuroscience

🌌✨ Empowering Futures with Quantum Innovation: The #QuanTEEM Winter School and #MPQP's Vision Unveiled ✨🌌 Last week, the master QuanTEEM (Erasmus Mundus)) at Dijon organized a Winter School for its first-year students, regrouping various speakers and presentations around #Quantum #Physics and Quantum #Computing. ColibriTD, represented by Henri de BOUTRAY and Hamza JAFFALI, had the oppourtinity to present its new library #MPQP to the students, as well as a small example of Quantum Error Correction implemented in MPQP. The feedback from #academic researchers and students highlighted the interest and need of such tools to facilitate the #access to quantum #technologies, and the development and validation of quantum #solutions. 📢Anticipated to propel the #market to $65 billions by 2030 and significantly mitigate global #CO2 emissions, MPQP extends an invaluable opportunity for the academic realm to delve into quantum computing's expansive prospects.    𝑀𝑃𝑄𝑃 (𝑀𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑖 𝑃𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚 𝑄𝑢𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑢𝑚 𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑔). 𝐴 𝑛𝑒𝑤 𝑙𝑖𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑟𝑦, 𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑚𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑠 𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑢𝑚 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑑𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑝𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑏𝑦 𝑠𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑦𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎𝑙𝑔𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑚 𝑡𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎𝑐𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑠 𝑑𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑠.
