NCSA, in collaboration with IQUIST, invites you to the monthly Quantum User Group gatherings 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.
Agenda:
We have invited Andrew Lytle from IQMP to present "Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park: Overview, status update and discussion"
Title:Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park: Overview, status update and discussionAbstract:The Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP) is a first-of-its-kind quantum technology innovation campus being built in South Chicago. I will present an overview of the project and updates on the current status and future plans.The meeting is intended to be informal and a springboard for discussion and exploring collaboration opportunities.Bio:Andrew Lytle is Program Manager for Quantum Algorithms R&D at the IQMP. His work focuses on supporting algorithms research and building partnerships between researchers, quantum hardware vendors and private sector companies and end users to advance quantum algorithms.Before joining IQMP he conducted research at UIUC on applications of quantum and classical algorithms to fundamental particle physics. He is broadly interested in quantum computation and algorithmic use cases across science and industry.
