Symposium

FTQC4NSc | Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing for Natural Sciences

This international symposium co-organized by CASUS Young Investigator Werner Dobrautz and his team brings together leading experts in fault-tolerant algorithms, quantum error correction and quantum simulation.

The simulation of quantum physical systems promises to be among the first fields to demonstrate a superiority of quantum computing over classical methods. Achieving this milestone with potential disruptive impact on several industry branches requires a joint effort to develop both: efficient, practical quantum algorithms and fault-tolerant, error-corrected quantum computers.

This symposium brings together leading researchers and experts from academia and industry to explore recent advances and challenges in the development of fault-tolerant quantum systems and quantum algorithms for material science and quantum chemistry.

It is organized by the FraunhoferLab for application-oriented Quantum computing Stuttgart-Heilbronn (flaQship) as part of its activities in the Competence Center Quantum Computing Baden-Württemberg (KQCBW). Co-organizers are the Center for Advanced Systems Understanding (CASUS) at HZDR, and the Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences (HHN). 

The FTQC4NSc symposium includes keynotes, invited and contributed talks as well as plenary discussions. There will also be a poster session, an evening event, and a conference dinner. Program, confirmed speakers and registration details are available at the conference homepage.
