My Photonic Ship in Riga

The University of Latvia will host two 8-hour-long in-person quantum workshops, “My Photonic Ship,” as part of the Latvian Quantum Initiative project led by Dr. Abuzer Yakaryilmaz from the University of Latvia.

During the workshops, high school and beyond students will explore quantum superposition, conduct photon experiments using simulators and quantum circuits, engage in mathematical and philosophical discussions, and develop a video game integrating quantum superposition. Through these activities, the participants will gain hands-on experience with quantum computing principles and their creative applications.
