Quantum computing for HEP and GW - Nikhef QuSoft SURF workshop

Monday 12 Sept 2022, 09:30 → 17:30 Europe/Amsterdam

Transform (Seats2Meet)

Ariana Torres (SURF), David Groep (Nikhef), Jonas Helsen (Cwi & qusoft)

Progressing the collaboration for Quantum Computing algorithms for HEP and GW use cases - follow-up to the Joint QuSoft Nikhef QC-for-HEP-GW workshop.
Keywords: interactive format - use case descriptions - joint whiteboard sessions - discussion - first practical results - challenges and possibilities!

The meeting is in the "Transform" room of Seats2Meet - ask for the "QuSoft - Nikhef joint quantum computing workshop".
The Seats2Meet entrance is shared with the SURF Utrecht offices, so use the same door to Hoog Overborch, next to the exit of the Albert Heijn. To get to Seats2Meet Utrecht CS: https://meet.s2mutrechtcs.com/route/

Limited remote listening during the plenaries is possible.

12:30 → 13:30 Lunch

13:30 → 14:00 Introduction to the Open Space sessions¶

All participants are kindly requested to send in their questions, challenges, and discussion points to us. We will sort and group these collaboratively, organisations ~3 smaller teams, and drill down into the details of these questions in a dynamic, 'open space' like, format.

Speakers: David Groep (Nikhef), Jonas Helsen (Cwi & qusoft)
