Quantum Machine Learning Workshop

This workshop provides an introduction to Quantum Machine Learning using PennyLane and PyTorch, with hands-on exercises and take-home challenges. The workshop includes four practical sessions that cover the QML concepts, models, and techniques. The sessions explore the development of quantum estimators and classifiers, their training with various optimisers, loss and cost functions, as well as model testing and scoring using variety of metrics. It finally, explains how to create hybrid quantum-classical QML models.

QuSantiago IV

En esta edición especial del QuSantiago, el encuentro dedicado a la investigación y desarrollo en tecnologías cuánticas, nos complace en anunciar su realización durante el presente año, reafirmando su compromiso con la excelencia académica y el avance científico. Este evento, que se llevará a cabo en conjunto con la Universidad Federico Santa María (Campus San Joaquín) y la Universidad de Santiago de Chile (USACH), representa una oportunidad única para el intercambio interdisciplinario entre instituciones de alto prestigio.

Enfoque Temático

En esta edición se abordarán dos ejes temáticos de alta relevancia en la investigación cuántica:

Sistemas Cuánticos Abiertos (USM)

Exploraremos las bases de computación cuántica y topología para entender la relevancia del anuncio de Microsoft y su nuevo chip Majorana. Además de comprender las bases de otra de las áreas más contraintuitiva como la termodinámica cuántica, donde se abordarán aspectos fundamentales para entender los ciclos termodinámicos básicos y su relevancia en máquinas y baterías cuánticas.

Técnicas para el Cálculo de Sistemas de Muchos Cuerpos (USACH)

Técnicas para el cálculo de sistemas de muchos cuerpos: Con la limitación de los computadores cuánticos actuales, técnicas para el estudio de sistemas de muchos cuerpos como Tensor Network tienen gran relevancia en estos días. En esta instancia abordaremos los aspectos básicos para cálculos que involucren Hamiltonianos de muchos cuerpos, como los es la técnica de Density Matrix Renormalization Group y cómo esta evoluciona a tensor network.

EXPLORING SPACE: A Space & Military Intelligence Learning Experience

Join us June 9-13, 2025, in Washington, DC, for a week filled with community building and “good, old-fashioned family fun” – complete with uncomfortable conversations, games of capture the flag, and leading the quantum revolution. Summer camp is about learning from new experiences and growing together to become better humans.

We will have activities for the whole family; however, the week is geared towards helping individuals 13-25 years old begin their journey into the future with a Competency-based Portfolio built for a future in quantum intelligence, ethical social engineering, and sustainable globalization (or similar fields) to support the workforce needs of the future. The Competency-based Curriculum and Supplemental Learning Activities are meant to enhance the public schooling experience and teach open-source research techniques that will aid students in their learning journey.

II International Congress of STEAM Educational Experiences

The International Conference of STEAM Educational Experiences aims to be a forum for all education professionals of all educational stages, people and institutions interested in education, and people who have started their teaching or educational research careers. It aims to be a meeting point for the exchange of experiences and reflections and the creation of synergies between professionals and institutions. There will be many presentations and workshops, both in-person and online. There will be dedicated spaces for: – Educational programming and robotics. – Climate Change. – Citizen Science. – Augmented Reality, cultural heritage, and STEAM. – Quantum Science and Technology (QST) in Education.

Let’s Talk Quantum

Join us for two exciting lectures about quantum science and technology to celebrate the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. On Friday, March 28, we have the honour of welcoming two amazing minds in the field! Dr. Gabrielle Thomas from Menlo Systems (Germany) will give us a lecture on ‘Enabling Quantum Science and Technology with Optical Frequency Combs’ and Dr. Tatevik Chalyan from Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Belgium) will present her research on ‘Quantum Sensing with Squeezed Light’. The event takes place at 4.00pm (CET) in auditorium D.2.01 on the VUB main campus in Etterbeek.

Academic Exchange and Student Conference on Advancements in Physics (AESCAP)

The student organization LC Delhi, representing the Member Committee India under the International Association of Physics Students (IAPS), is proudly presenting the Academic Exchange and Student Conference on Advancements in Physics (AESCAP). This four-day event will take place from April 9th to 12th, 2025, in Delhi. Hosted by Delhi Technological University and Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College (University of Delhi), AESCAP aims to engage undergraduate and master’s students, both national and international. The conference is expected to attract up to 200 participants, providing a platform for academic exchange and discussions on the latest advancements in quantum science and physics.

The event will focus on the rapidly evolving field of quantum computing, quantum information, and their applications. The program will cover foundational topics such as the basics of qubits, quantum computing, quantum information, introduction to quantum gates, as well as hands-on workshops for using Qiskit and quantum CCD techniques. It will also explore India’s quantum future, quantum cryptography, and the role of AI and machine learning in academia and society. We will also have famous science communicators to discuss our quantum future and discuss the importance of science communication. Beyond technical discussions, the event will address broader global challenges and initiate conversation on important topics through panel discussions on women in physics and climate change.

The event would also feature student talks and poster presentations, as well as fun interactive social events to provide networking opportunities for the attendees. It promises to be an engaging platform for learning, collaboration, and envisioning the future of quantum technology.

The Future Leaders in Quantum Hackathon

The Quantum Coalition and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) proudly present the Future Leaders in Quantum (FLIQ) Virtual Hackathon, a global challenge designed to empower the next generation of quantum innovators.

As part of the UN International Year of Quantum (IYQ), FLIQ brings together students, mentors, and industry leaders from across the world to collaborate, compete, and create real-world quantum solutions. Whether you’re a technical problem solver, an aspiring quantum entrepreneur, or a creative storyteller, FLIQ is designed to be accessible, inclusive, and impactful helping you take your first (or next) step into the quantum world.
