International conference on quantum simulation – QSim2026
Amsterdam will to host QSim2026, the premier international conference dedicated to the rapidly evolving field of quantum simulation. Bringing together a multidisciplinary community of physicists, computer scientists, and chemists, the event aims to bridge the gap between theoretical frameworks and cutting-edge experimental platforms.
Research semester on Quantum Algorithms and Quantum Error Correction
Registration is now open for a new research semester program, which will comprise an initial summer school followed by two dedicated research workshops. The program centers on two foundational pillars of QuSoft’s research agenda: Quantum Algorithms and Quantum Error Correction. Over the course of the semester, these topics will be examined from their core principles […]

QuSoft Welcomes Matthias Christandl as 2024 Turing Chair
QuSoft is delighted to announce that Professor Matthias Christandl has been appointed as the 2024 Turing Chair. A leading researcher in quantum information theory, Professor Christandl will be visiting Amsterdam at various intervals between October 2024 and early 2025. His appointment as Turing Chair promises to foster a diverse range of academic activities, discussions, and […]
Quantum algorithms are a (random) walk in the park
Quantum computers are fast, and in the future they will solve certain problems much faster than regular (classical) computers. That creates opportunities, states prof. dr. Stacey Jeffery in her inaugural lecture. Before these quantum computers become a reality, a lot of research into quantum algorithms is necessary. These algorithms will be the key for lightning […]
Registrations open for Harry Buhrman’s farewell on June 3rd
On 3rd June, CWI and the UvA organize a farewell symposium to celebrate the many contributions Harry has made to theoretical computer science and to quantum computing over the course of his 30+ years in Amsterdam, including his co-founding (together with Kareljan Schoutens) of the research center QuSoft in 2015.
Ten QuSoft papers were accepted at the Quantum Information Processing 2024 conference!
