NCSA Quantum Calendar

NCSA, in collaboration with IQUIST, is inviting you for the first of our Quantum User Group gatherings that we will hold on a monthly basis for the campus community.

The Quantum User Group (QUG) is being formed to bring together several efforts that have been underway and to raise awareness of activities of which members of the campus community may wish to take advantage. The QUG creates a forum for interaction and information sharing in order to facilitate growing the local community of researchers with interest in quantum computing and raise awareness about emerging quantum computing capabilities and for those exploring the use of hybrid classical/quantum computing to share their experiences--both successes and challenges--with others. 

We encourage researchers with challenging research problems that can potentially benefit from quantum computing along with those who are curious about this to help determine the potential for benefiting your research to participate.  Graduate students and postdocs affiliated with research in classical as well as quantum computing and all campus community members interested in quantum computing are also encouraged to attend.

In this first instance of the QUG meeting, we will provide an overview of the intentions of the QUG. This will be complemented with short presentations from Santiago Nunez-Corrales and Wolfgang Pfaff. We will also leave time for open discussion and feedback on these plans and how the QUG can bring the greatest value to the campus community.

Also, a quick reminder to sign up for Slack Channel in order to stay up to date on the QUG’s activities.

We look forward to seeing you on Oct 30!
