"Introduction to quantum computing and ecosystem of quantum technologies in Poland"
Paweł Gora

9.10.2025, 18:00 UTC+2

Registration (will be open on 25.09.2025)

Abstract:

In this talk, I will give an introduction to the quantum computing domain, explaining the basic concepts and algorithms, how it is different from the traditional way of computing, and what the biggest challenges are in this field. I will also explain the difference between circuit-based models and the quantum annealing approach. Finally, I will present the quantum computing ecosystem in Poland, outline plans of the Quantum AI Foundation and QPoland for the academic year 2025/2026, and present opportunities for people who would like to learn more or start working or doing research in the quantum computing domain.
