Curso Principios Básicos de Computación Cuántica

El curso consta de seis sesiones, en las cuales se propone enseñar a los asistentes, no necesariamente con conocimientos de mecánica cuántica, las herramientas básicas sobre computación cuántica, para facilitarles la posibilidad de incursionar de manera autónoma en esta bella y con gran potencial rama de la física.

International Conference on Quantum Software (IQSOFT)

The purpose of the International Conference On Quantum Software (IQSOFT) is to bring together researchers, engineers, and practitioners interested in the advances and business applications of quantum software. Six tracks will be held, covering different aspects of Quantum Software. IQSOFT focuses both on research and on real-world applications of quantum software. Ideas on how to solve quantum software engineering problems and how to use quantum software in combination with other technologies, such as AI, will arise from the conference.
Papers describing advanced prototypes, systems, tools, and techniques and general survey papers indicating future directions are also encouraged.
