DESCRIPTION:The purpose of the "Introduction to Quantum Computing" school i
 s to train the student in the use of new quantum machines that have become
  a reality since the beginning of the century. Constantly evolving\, these
  machines require specific skills to be able to use them. Even if their te
 chnological development is not yet fully mature\, it is strategically very
  important to learn right away how to use these new devices\, which are pr
 ofoundly different from the computers we usually use. During the school th
 e student\, after having reviewed the basics of quantum mechanics and line
 ar algebra\, will face the practical and theoretical treatment of some of 
 the most famous quantum concepts and algorithms on the different machines 
 available today. The course is completed by offering practical hands-on se
 ctions on the emulators installed on our HPC machines\n\nTopics\n\nIntrodu
 ction to different Quantum Hardwares and Quantum Softwares. Linear algebra
  Recap (Dirac notation\, Hermitian Matrices\, tensor product\, Schmidt dec
 omposition).  Postulates of quantum mechanics (Qubit states \, unitary ev
 olution\, measurement). Quantum gates. Entanglement. Quantum Parallelism. 
 Quantum Error Correction. Introduction to General Purpose Quantum Algorith
 ms with examples. Introduction to NISQ Quantum Algorithms with examples. A
 diabatic quantum computing (AQC) and Quantum Annealing (QA). Hands-on sess
 ions.\n\nTarget Audience\n\nThe course is aimed at scientific university s
 tudents\, as well as PhD students and researchers. In principle\, anyone w
 ho meets the required prerequisites can send a request to participate.\n\n
 Prerequisites\n\nKnowledge of mathematics\, in particular linear algebra. 
 Knowledge of python programming. Knowledge of Unix environments. Knowledge
  of quantum mechanics is not a fundamental prerequisite\, even if it repre
 sents a considerable help for understanding the topics covered.\n\nThe num
 ber of participants is limited to 25 students.\nApplicants will be select
 ed according to their experience\, qualifications and scientific interest 
 on "Containers topic" BASED ON WHAT WRITTEN IN THE REGISTRATION FORM.\nUs
 e the "Reason for Participation" field for motivating your subscription.\n
 \nAPPLICATION DEADLINE: MAY 30th 2021\n\nDUE TO PRIVACY REASON THE STUDEN
 TS ADMITTED AND NOT ADMITTED WILL BE CONTACTED VIA EMAIL ON JUNE 10th 2021
 .\nIF YOU SUBMITTED AND DON'T RECEIVE THE EMAIL AT THAT DATE\, PLEASE WRIT
