FoQaCiA Workshop - June 2-6, 2025 at INL
We’re looking forward to welcoming you to the INL headquarters in Braga, Portugal for the FoQaCiA Workshop between June 2-6.
Following on the success of our 1st FoQaCiA Conference held at Perimeter Institute in 2024, we are now inviting applications for participation in the Foundations of Quantum Computational Advantage (FoQaCiA) Workshop, to take place at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) in Braga, Portugal from June 2-6, 2025.
The workshop will explore the four central, interrelated themes of the project, and related topics:
· Quantum contextuality, non-classicality, and quantum advantage
· Complexity of classical simulation of quantum computation
· Arithmetic of quantum circuits
· Efficiency of fault-tolerant quantum computation
Contributions are invited in the form of posters and/or short contributed talks. On Monday June 2nd, and morning of June 3rd, we will have 3 tutorial sessions directed at students, followed by the workshop itself from June 3-6.
List of tutorial speakers (June 2-3)
· Jara Juana Bermejo-Vega, Universidad de Granada
Extended stabilizer methods in quantum computation
· Anne Broadbent, University of Ottawa
Quantum cryptography
· Ana Belén Sainz, Uniwersytet Gdański
Generalised contextuality: when does a phenomenon resist a classical explanation
