VIII Workshop-Escola de Computação e Informação Quântica & VIII Workshop de Computação Quântica – UFSC

Para celebrar o Ano Internacional da Ciência e Tecnologia Quântica, o VIII Workshop-Escolaa de Computação e Informação Quântica – WECIQ e o VIII Workshop de Computação Quântica – WCQ da UFSC, serão realizados conjuntamente na cidade de Florianópolis-SC entre 08 e 12 de dezembro de 2025. Trata-se de eventos tradicionais na área de computação e informação quântica no Brasil. Neste edição, denominado apenas por VIII , também incluirá os demais temas que compõem as tecnologias quânticas e ciências quânticas, a saber, metrologia e comunicação quântica.

O VIII visa convergir pesquisadores, professores, alunos de graduação e pós-graduação, profissionais e público não especializado com interesse seja na vanguarda da computação e informação quântica ou ter um primeiro contato, proporcionando um terreno fértil para a troca de ideias, colaborações e inovações tecnológicas. Ainda que seja um evento de caráter nacional, conta com destacada participação internacional, comprometendo-se a dar importantes contribuições e achar novos caminhos para a evolução das pesquisas e aplicações práticas em áreas críticas das tecnologias quânticas, como comunicação quântica e metrologia quântica, além do desenvolvimento de novos algoritmos quânticos e aplicações da computação quântica para setores industriais e financeiro.

O VIII visa, estrategicamente, fortalecer a rede de conhecimento e inovação quântica no Brasil, promovendo a formação de recursos humanos para a área através dos seus minicursos, bem como fomentar o desenvolvimento de uma sólida base educacional e de pesquisa em tecnologias quânticas, com uma visão de posicionar o país como um protagonista emergente nesse campo globalmente competitivo e vital.

Art Meets Science

This invited speaker session at the APS Global Physics Summit is hosted by the Committee on Public Engagement. The session includes talks on the intersection of art and science and how it can be used as a tool for science communication.

Quantum Jubilee Teachers Day

Teachers’ Day at Global Physics Summit offers free workshops for middle and high school teachers taught by quantum scientists and public engagement professionals. Every teacher will receive free professional learning, resource materials, lesson plans, & more.

Registration is required to participate.

Quantum Jubilee

At Quantum Jubilee, a family-friendly public event, enjoy an immersive experience with engaging performances, science demonstrations, and flash talks that highlight the wonders of quantum physics.

The event features three exciting on-stage segments

Quantum Harmonies showcases Tinguely Entangled, a multimedia performance exploring the concept of entanglement through the fusion of art and science.

Quantum Journeys invites you on an adventure with Quantum Voyages, an exciting tale across multiple quantum realms, followed by an exploration of quantum marvels aboard the International Space Station.

Quantum Celebrations will take you on a captivating journey from subatomic particles to the cosmos, featuring multimedia performances, interactive demonstrations, and a mesmerizing finale by the LA-based circus, Le PeTiT CiRqUe. The venue also houses quantum exhibits, including art and science installations and an escape room for hands-on immersion.

Quantum Jubilee is the kick-off event for a week-long special IYQ festival, QuantumFest, taking place at the American Physical Society’s Global Physics Summit in Anaheim, March 16-21, 2025.

APS Wiki Scientist Course

How often do you find yourself reading a Wikipedia article? Maybe there is a person or event you want to learn more about, or you need a refresher on Maxwell’s equations, or you want to learn how a tokamak works. Wikipedia provides information on all of these topics, and as one of the top ten visited websites in the world, it is a powerful tool for knowledge sharing.

To contribute to the advancement of physics knowledge through Wikipedia, as well as to elevate the visibility of lesser-known physicists, APS is excited to offer a Wiki Scientist course focused on quantum science and technology! In this six-week course, participants will learn how to edit, update, and translate Wikipedia pages on quantum science and technology topics and scientists.

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.
