Quantum technologies have come into our lives and are here to stay. The Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) is taking the first steps to build southern Europe’s first quantum computer.
In this talk, Alba Cervera Lierta, researcher in the BSC’s QUANTIC group and PhD student in the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona, will be explaining the difference between “traditional” and quantum computing, and the calculations that a quantum computer could make. Then, Pol Forn Díaz, QUANTIC’s lead researcher, will explain the technologies they are working on and how a device of this kind really works.
With the collaboration of: Barcelona Supercomputing Centre

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
