Open to all
Sofyan Iblisdir, who is a researcher at the Quantum Technologies group at the Institute of Cosmos Sciences, will offer the outreach talk “Quantum Computing: a brief introduction” next Wednesday, November 10, to the quantum physics amateur association Sopa de Partículas.
TALK: «QUANTUM COMPUTING: A BRIEF INTRODUCTION»
What is quantum computation? Unlike classical computers, that work using 1 and 0 (signal or no signal), quantum computers benefit from the laws of quantum mechanics to work with a superposition of states. Thanks to that, quantum computers can carry out tasks that would be impossible for a conventional computer.
In this talk, we will ask ourselves what it means to compute from a physical point of view and furthermore, we will see why the laws of quantum mechanics are relevant in computin in general. Altogether, we will show some specific Applications of quantum computation and the experimental challenge behind the making of a quantum computer.
When? Wednesday, November 10, 2021 at 7 pm
Where? Centre Cívic Guinardó (Ronda del Guinardó, 113, Barcelona)
Registration You can register prior to the event here

ADMIRA Project: Activities with Medipix Detectors to Research Radiation in the Classroom
The ADMIRA Project (Activities with Medipix Detectors to Investigate Radiation in the classroom) aims to create a network of schools around the use of Timepix Detectors designed at CERN. The objective is to bring the Institutes closer to the research done in Universities and Research Centers. A group of schools that have participated in a selection process will use these devices in their classrooms. Teacher training activities will be open to any institute teacher who is interested (with the aim of expanding the network in future editions).
On this website you can consult the objectives of the ADMIRA project, the ways of participating and the activities offered for teachers and students. You can also find the didactic orientations, skills and key contents that are intended to work.
Projecte
Simulations of Quantum Mechanics
Simulations of Quantum Mechanics starts as a collaborative project involving undergraduate students, professors and researchers. It is based on the development of computer programs, created by students under the supervision of professors, which allow introducing basic concepts of quantum mechanics and the physics of ultracold gases to the students of baccalaureate and degree. The programs carried out aim to be rigorous from the scientific point of view, solving the relevant equations in a precise manner, combined with a graphical interface that allows users to interact with them in a pleasant way.
OBJECTIVES:
Encourage cooperation among seniors of degree
Bring seniors in the research that takes place in our department
Produce a useful tool for the dissemination of science at the high school level
