INSTITUTIONAL INFO
We live exciting times in the world of quantum information. The long-awaited scientific revolution has triggered in recent years a technological revolution, suddenly bringing quantum technologies in close proximity to our present time. The most powerful and societally transformative of all quantum technologies is quantum computation. Parallel progress in many experimental fields has motivated giant technological corporations to invest in quantum computing, an event which has caused a disruptive effect in the progress in these fields.
In the spirit of former summer schools in the Benasque Center for Science, we are organizing a summer school this year, right in the middle of this technological revolution. The school will consist of a set of lecturers representing the most technologically advanced areas of quantum computation. We will also cover modern theoretical techniques which are becoming available to use in near-scale, small-sized quantum processors.
We invite motivated graduate students to participate in the school and learn key experimental details from some of the experts in the areas of superconducting qubits, ion traps, nitrogen vacancy centers, phosphor donors in silicon, quantum dots in two-dimensional electron gases, and photonic chips. Besides the lectures, the school will include several tutorials in addition to a set of interactive activities.
Benasque is a beautiful village located in the Spanish Pyrenees, just at the bottom of their highest mountain (Pico de Aneto), with a wonderful countryside/hiking environment. The Centro de Ciencias de Benasque Pedro Pascual (http://benasque.org/) is an international meeting infrastructure which provides excellent facilities and an agreeable atmosphere to allow the participants to interact with senior speakers and tutors and also to carry their work during the meeting. The lecture halls and the rooms for discussion sessions are located in the Centre. Computing and electronic communication facilities are available.
