Video released: This is the Quantum Software Consortium.
The Quantum Software Consortium is building a new research community in the Netherlands in Quantum Information Science. But what is Quantum Information Science? You perhaps heard of the quantum computer. A computer that fundamentally uses different physics laws than a classical computer does. But like a classical computer, also a quantum computer uses software – […]
3rd Quantum Training Days on quantum bits by The Quantum Software Consortium (QSC)
In this mini course you will learn about the characterization of noise in qubits and quantum gates. The lectures will be given by Arghavan Safavi-Naini (QuSoft, IoP, UvA) and Jonas Helsen (QuSoft, CWI). Topics: 1. The basics of noise in quantum computation, and different metrics (such as fidelity, diamond distance, unitarity) to quantify noise. 2. […]

ABEL LAUREATES LECTURES AT CWI WITH LÁSZLÓ LOVÁSZ AND AVI WIGDERSON
On Friday 8 April the two 2021 Abel Prize Laureates – Hungarian mathematician László Lovász and Israeli computer scientist Avi Wigderson – will give lectures at CWI during a lively afternoon programme for the Dutch science community. Three additional speakers, whose research is inspired by the work of the laureates, will also give talks at […]
Big meetup event: How to build the Future Quantum Workforce?
Two times a year Quantum.Amsterdam organises the Big Meetup. This time four speakers will give special attention to Quantum Education. Each speaker with his or her own expertise, varying from high school education, towards MSc programs and courses for business, will give answer to the question: “How to build the Future Quantum Workforce?” Speakers: – […]
Harry Buhrman, Stacey Jeffery and Maris Ozols performed at ‘Gala van de Wetenschap’
The ninth edition of the Science Gala took place on Tuesday November 23, in a sold-out International Theater Amsterdam, with ‘common sense’ as the theme this year. Under the musical guidance of curator Erik de Jong, better known by his stage name Spinvis, scientists shared insights from their field on this theme with the audience. […]
Probability and consequences of living inside a computer simulation by Gilles Brassard
Last December 2020, Professor Gilles Brassard of the Université de Montréal was the first to be appointed on the new Turing chair for Quantum Software at the University of Amsterdam (UvA). He joined QuSoft, the Dutch research centre for quantum software of which the UvA is one of the partners, for a period of six […]
