SUMMARY:Superconducting Quantum Device Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Quantum computing has the potential to solve problems beyond the capabilities of conventional supercomputers. It could revolutionize the advancement of several fields\, including biochemistry\, finance\, logistics\, and artificial intelligence. However\, building quantum hardware is a great challenge\, involving both concepts and technology that have little in common with those in conventional silicon chips. It involves cryogenic environments and in the currently most advanced approach\, it relies on superconducting circuits that display macroscopic quantum effects. These concepts and techniques are not part of the usual science and engineering curriculum. \nTo fill this gap\, the Universities of Calgary and Victoria\, the two NSERC CREATE programs –  Quantum BC and QSciTech – the three quantum institutes – Institut quantique\, Institute for Quantum Computing and the Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute – and CMC Microsystems have joined forces to bring to you the workshop on the design\, fabrication\, and testing of superconducting devices used in quantum computer hardware. We invite you to join the virtual workshop taking place from June 20 to July 8.

SUMMARY:Alan Aspuru-Guzik - Tripartite Seminar Series Speaker
DESCRIPTION:For our third instalment of the Tripartite Seminar Series\, we welcome Alan Aspuru-Guzik from the University of Toronto. He will speak on the topic Quantum Algorithms for Near-Term Quantum Computers.\n\n\nABSTRACT: \nQuantum algorithms for near-term quantum computers \nWe are in the NISQ era of quantum computing. NISQ stands for “Near-term intermediate-scale quantum computer”. These machines are not error corrected and have of the order of tens of quantum bits. In this talk\, I will discuss a family of quantum algorithms that are promising applications for these devices that my group and others have developed. I will discuss potential applications for the simulation of chemistry and materials and quantum machine learning. \n\n\nThe Tripartite Quantum Computing Seminar Series (TQCSS)\, intends to attract a wide audience of people in British Columbia and beyond. The TQCSS Committee is comprised of faculty from 3 BC universities.\n\nSeminars will take place some Wednesdays over Zoom with a 45 minute seminar followed by 10-15 mins for Q&A.\n\nWatch the Seminar Here

SUMMARY:Roadmapping Pathways for Quantum Computing
DESCRIPTION:Format: Virtual \nThe “Roadmapping Pathways for Quantum Computing” virtual event brings together academia and industry for a dynamic\, multi-level discussion that aims to create a common vision for quantum computing in British Columbia and beyond in the context of the global quantum landscape. \nThe event will consist of two 3-hour sessions\, one focused on quantum hardware\, and the other on quantum software and algorithms. Each session will start with a brief introduction to a subset of specific topics\, followed by small breakout groups in which each team – guided by a Topic Champion – will do a deep dive into one topic. The results will be presented to the whole group for discussion. Compiling all the results from the breakout groups will yield a real-time Roadmapping Document that will serve as a basis to synchronize efforts across the quantum computing sector in BC\, advocate for funding in strategic areas\, and provide a benchmark for ongoing developments and technology adoption. \nPlease save the date\, and subscribe to our mailing list to receive details on registration.

SUMMARY:Cornerstone Models of Quantum Computing School / TRIUMF Summer Institute 2021
DESCRIPTION:TRIUMF together with its partners –  Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute at the University of British Columbia\, Quantum Algorithms Institute\, Simon Fraser University\, University of Victoria\, Université de Sherbrooke\, DESY from the Helmholtz Association and our industry partners Xanadu and D-Wave –  are pleased to announce the Cornerstone Models of Quantum Computing Summer School / TRIUMF Summer Institute 2021\, which will be taking place remotely from August 2 – 13\, 2021. \nThe school will provide an in-depth introduction to the seminal models of quantum computing: \n\nGate Model\nAnnealing\nMeasurement-Based\nContinuous Variable\n\nStudents will have a chance to work through challenges utilizing quantum computing processors and explore concepts within these main topics. In addition\, students will gain awareness of the major technologies used in quantum computing\, such as superconducting\, photonic\, and trapped-ion qubits. Major quantum computing applications such as quantum chemistry\, nuclear physics\, and quantum-assisted machine learning will be briefly summarized. \nThe school will take place from August 2nd to 13th\, with several lecture hours\, tutorials and office hours each day. Students will be presented with challenge problems\, and are expected to spend about 2-3 hours on them each day. Graduate and undergraduate students will be eligible for full and free enrollment. Non-students are encouraged to audit the lectures. The school is designed for students in quantitative disciplines. Physics background is not required – however participants should be familiar with complex linear algebra and python programming. \nPlease bring this opportunity to the attention of graduate students\, as well as senior undergraduates and post-doctoral researchers interested in this area. \nFor further information and to register for this FREE event\, please visit: http://tsi.triumf.ca/2021/ \n\n\n

SUMMARY:QSciTech-QuantumBC Virtual Workshop - Superconducting Circuits and Qubits
DESCRIPTION:Two NSERC CREATE programs – Quantum BC and QSciTech – have joined forces to bring to you the first workshop worldwide on the design\, fabrication\, and testing of superconducting circuits used in quantum computer hardware. \nWith support from CMC Microsystems\, the IBM Quantum Hub at Institut quantique and the Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute\, Quantum BC and QSciTech invite you to join a virtual workshop taking place from July 19 to 30\, 2021. The workshop will teach participants how to design\, fabricate\, and test their own superconducting circuits. The workshop will cover the fundamentals of superconductors and Josephson junctions\, and how to design circuits such as resonators\, SQUIDs\, analog to digital converters and qubits. Students will brainstorm with researchers at leading Canadian universities and industry to pitch their device ideas and use IBM Qiskit Metal software and CMC-provided design tools to submit devices for fabrication by a foundry facilitated by CMC. Most participants will test their chips in a 4K probe station at one of the universities\, or with a dilution refrigerator already available for those students pursuing a Ph.D. in experimental quantum information science.
