The workshop consists of 3 Friday afternoon sessions on February 28, February 7 and March 14, 2025 from 15-19 hrs, and a full day Hackathon on Firday March 21, 2025.
Quantum Computing will allow, when sufficiently mature, to tackle problems whose complexity scales exponentially and are, therefore, beyond the reach of classical computing resources.
The advent of fully functional quantum computers is still some years ahead. Meanwhile, a class of strategies have been put forward in order to profit from the available infrastructures.
In this workshop we will show how to make use of those strategies in order to tackle real problems. The program will include both theoretical lectures as well as hands-on sessions. It will end up with a Hackaton where teams will address a particular set of proposed projects.
The level will be introductory and only requisits are basic knowledge of linear algebra and of programming in python.
Attendants will be asked to bring their laptops and install certain software packages to run in local mode. The workshops will be on-site. The number of seats is limited.
The courses will be partly imparted in english due to the nationality of part of the speakers. In cases where there is no need, they will be given in spanish.
The attendance will be rewarded with worth ECTS. There will be prizes for the winners of the last day hackaton.
