DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\nRecent developments in quantum technology are bring
 ing the world closer to a new technological revolution - the advent of usa
 ble quantum computers able to provide enormous acceleration to important c
 omputational tasks​. In coming years\, quantum computing is expected to 
 have a huge impact on practically all areas of research that can utilise c
 omputational modelling.\n\nStarting operations in April this year\, the No
 rdiQuEst project brings together a consortium of seven partners from five 
 Nordic and Baltic countries to connect world-leading traditional HPC resou
 rces and quantum computers across national borders with the aim to establi
 sh a quantum computing platform customised to the needs of the region.\n\n
 ENCCS is now joining forces with NordiQuEst to deliver a two-day training 
 workshop covering the fundamentals of quantum computing (QC)\, including:\
 n\n\n	Introduction to key concepts: quantum states\, qubits\, quantum algo
 rithms\n	QC programming in high-level languages for use cases in optimisat
 ion\, finance and quantum chemistry followed by testing quantum programs t
 o esure their correctness\n	Overview of the main QC hardware approaches\n	
 Integration of QC with classical computing: hybrid classical/quantum algor
 ithms and HPC-QC systems.\n\n\nOutcomes\n\n\n	Create\, deploy\, and update
  containers locally on a supercomputer\n	Upscale the transfer learning of 
 an NLP model in TensorFlow\n	Upscale the transfer learning of an NLP model
  using Horovod\n	Upscale the transfer learning of a containerized NLP mode
 l\n\n\nMorning lectures are combined with afternoon hands-on sessions wher
 e participants learn to use high-level QC programming languages using simu
 lators as well as real QC hardware.\n\nPrerequisites\n\nFor the hands-on t
 raining sessions\, basic familiarity with Python and some experience worki
 ng in a Unix environment are desirable. No previous experience with quantu
 m computers expected.\n\nAgenda \n\nFor updated agenda please visit http
 s://enccs.se/events/2022-06-quantum-computing/ \n\nFor questions regardin
 g this event please contact us at training@enccs.se.\n\n\nThis training i
 s intended for users established in the European Union or a country associ
 ated with Horizon 2020. You can read more about the countries associated
