Quantum Sciences & Technologies: Transforming Chemistry with Quantum, HPC, and AI

The promise of quantum is real, and we are beginning to see where this technology can have the greatest impact. Decades of research and development point to the tremendous impact quantum computing will have on the simulation of quantum systems, especially for chemistry and materials science. As the fidelity and scale of quantum machines improve, we will first see the scientific quantum advantage, solving classes of scientifically interesting and classically intractable problems. As we scale to quantum supercomputers, we will achieve industrial quantum advantage and solve the world’s most pressing challenges through quantum-enabled advances in chemistry, biochemistry, and materials science. Scaled quantum systems won’t exist in isolation but will operate alongside AI and classical supercomputing.

Come join Microsoft for a lecture and workshop to bring together High-Performance Computing, AI, and early quantum systems and learn how it can accelerate scientific discovery.

European Researcher’s Night Slovakia

European Researcher’s Night is the biggest science festival in Slovakia, and it brings news from the world of research and innovation in an inspiring and unique way.

The festival is traditionally held on the last Friday of September in Bratislava, Košice, Banská Bystrica, Žilina, Poprad, and other accompanying locations. The day-long program (9 am to 11 pm) offers a series of scientific presentations, discussions, experiments, workshops, technological attractions and so much more!

What 2025 holds

The scientific community is increasingly confronting the limitations of traditional predictive models and linear approaches in analyzing complex systems. Chaos, once understood as a synonym for disorder, is now seen as an inherent property of dynamic processes, where sensitivity to initial conditions and nonlinearity determine their evolution. Instead of perceiving uncertainty as an obstacle, we can interpret it as a catalyst for scientific discoveries and technological innovations.

Last year’s theme of complexity highlighted the interdisciplinary connections in research. This year, as part of the Night of Science, we will explore chaos as a fundamental mechanism of adaptation, evolution, and transformation in various systems. The event will open discussions on how scientific disciplines approach uncertainty and nonlinearity and what paradigmatic shifts these phenomena imply.

Quantum Physics and Chaos: Uncertainty as an Epistemological and Technological Imperative

At the quantum level, uncertainty is a fundamental property of systems. Quantum fluctuations, state superposition, and wave function collapse challenge classical notions of predictability and deterministic understanding of reality. Quantum physics thus provides a natural link between chaotic phenomena and the emergence of new orders, where uncertainty becomes a source of technological innovations.

The International Year of Quantum Science and Technology 2025 offers a unique opportunity to explore the relationship between chaotic processes and quantum mechanics. Quantum algorithms utilize chaotic behavior to solve nonlinear problems, while quantum communication protocols introduce new standards of security and efficiency in information transmission.

Chaos in Nature and Society: Mechanisms of Stability and Transformation

In natural systems, chaos does not merely represent entropy but also stabilization and emergent organization. From climate processes and ecosystem interactions to neural networks and evolutionary mechanisms – nonlinear dynamics lead to the formation of self-organizing structures and adaptive strategies.

Similar principles apply to social and technological systems. Financial markets, digital networks, and information ecosystems exhibit chaotic behavioral patterns, where even minimal perturbations significantly influence global outcomes. This presents challenges for modeling, regulating, and managing complex systems.

Night of Science 2025 will offer an interdisciplinary perspective on the connection between chaos, quantum technologies, natural phenomena, and social dynamics. We will explore how uncertainty shapes innovation processes and what epistemological and technological implications we can extrapolate for a better future. Chaos is not just a challenge – it represents a potential key to new scientific paradigm shifts.

Quantum Computing Industry Training

Quantum computing promises great potential for companies in almost all sectors thanks to its speed and precision advantages. The combination with machine learning methods also opens up new possibilities. How do quantum computers work, what principles are their programming based on, and why does the so-called “quantum advantage” promise a disruptive change in the IT industry? In a 3-day course, the quantum team of the Fraunhofer IAO trains the experts of tomorrow.

​​​The free training program provides comprehensive knowledge in the field of quantum computing, from basics to application. The course aims at a general understanding of quantum technology and builds up the necessary key skills for industrial application. Four modules will teach you how to assess the key technology of quantum computing, how to deal with it and how to apply it in a targeted manner: Basics, Hardware, Algorithms, and Application.

​We invite participants to join us in learning about the phenomena of the quantum world, the differences between today’s system architectures, and the basics of programming them. From the principles of quantum mechanics, we take the exciting path to their industrial application and work on a wide variety of use cases, for example, in the fields of quantum chemistry, finance, optimization, or quantum machine learning.

Omnicane Award 2025

This is an annual inter-college competition open to all secondary colleges in the Republic of Mauritius. This competition, sponsored by Omnicane Foundation through its Corporate Social Responsibility engagement, was established in 1971 and enables students each year to submit their project on a theme of national and international interest. Thus, each year, some 300 students (in teams of 5 students each) submit their projects based on research work, interviews, and discussions.

We have each year a competent independent jury panel chosen in relation to the theme who evaluate some 60 projects received before preselecting shortlisted teams who are invited to make an oral presentation based on which the winner and the two runners-up are awarded. To celebrate the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, this year’s theme is about finding innovative solutions for Mauritius’s most pressing challenges as a SIDS: Limited Arable land, vulnerability to climate change, and food security.

We are thus calling on the visionary minds of our youth to explore how quantum science and technology, through data analysis, crop improvement, and sustainable resource management, can help enhance agricultural productivity while promoting sustainability and resilience in our island nation. The project was launched on 10th February 2025, and the submission deadline is the first week of May 2025, while the winners and runner-ups will be announced in August 2025. It is noted that this project competition is endorsed by the Ministry of Education & Human Resources in Mauritius.
