DESCRIPTION:Topic:\n\nQUANTUM COMPUTING\n\nAPPLICATION DEADLINE: Jan 23rd 
 2022\n\nDescription\n\nSince its theorization\, now more than 40 years ago
 \, quantum computing has immediately shown that it has enormous potential 
 as a method of computation. It has been realized that\, by exploiting the 
 basic principles of quantum mechanics\, it is possible to carry out normal
 ly very long and complex calculations in a relatively short time. These st
 atements\, initially only demonstrated with pen and paper\, today are slow
 ly beginning to find space to be demonstrated in reality\, since finally t
 he first models\, albeit still with many problems\, of quantum computers a
 re starting to appear on the market. In this course we will see how quantu
 m computing is able to practically perform calculations and\, above all\, 
 we will focus on its very close relationship with the world of HPC\, since
  it is a common belief of the scientific community that one of the first a
 pplications of current quantum computers will be precisely that of being a
 n accelerator for high-performance computations\, a bit like GPUs do today
 .\n\nSkills:\n\nIn this course you will understand what quantum computing 
 is and what it means to use a quantum computer as an accelerator for HPC c
 omputing. You will learn the difference between a General Purpose quantum 
 computer and a Special Purpose computer\, as well as the difference betwee
 n NISQ quantum computers and universal quantum computers\n\n\nTarget Audie

 and will be held as ONLINE EVENT. \n\nThe number of participants is limit
 ed to 25 students.\n\nApplicants will be selected according to their expe
 rience\, qualifications and scientific interest on "Quantum Computing top
