Oxford Instruments holds Nicholas Kurti Science Prize Ceremony at TopQC 2019
Oxford Instruments NanoScience will be presenting the 2019 winner – Dr Menno Veldhorst of QuTech, Netherlands with the Prizes during the TopQC event. The Nicholas Kurti Science Prize promotes and recognises the novel work of young European scientists working in the fields of low temperatures and/or high magnetic fields. Dr Menno Veldhorst is recognised for his ground-breaking work on silicon-and germanium-based electron spin quantum bits. This includes a demonstration of record spin coherence times and the demonstration of integrated two-qubit functionality. Dr Veldhorst will be presenting his award winning work at the Prize Ceremony.

PANEL DISCUSSION Quantum Computing: A Disruptive Scenario for Future Computing and Beyond Computing Chairwoman: K.MICHIELSEN (Forschungszentrum Juelich, Germany) During the past several decades, supercomputing speeds have gone from Gigaflops to Teraflops to Petaflops. As the end of Moore’s law approaches, the HPC community is increasingly interested in disruptive technologies that could help continue these dramatic improvements in capability. Emerging new fields of information processing like AI are also expected to benefit from new computing technologies. The aim of this interactive panel will be to identify key technical hurdles in advancing quantum computing to the point it becomes useful to the HPC community and more generally to information processing actors. Some questions to be considered are: · When will quantum computing become part of the HPC infrastructure? · What are the key technical challenges (hardware, software and algorithms)? · What advanced computing applications might be accelerated through quantum computing? · Which enhancement will the quantum technology bring to the information processing? Panelists: R. Biswas (NASA, USA), J. Chow (IBM, USA), D. Steiger (Quantum Computing, Microsoft, USA), T. Sterling (Indiana University, USA), F. Streitz (Lawerence Livermore Natnl Lab, USA), F.

“Quantum Computing: A Disruptive Scenario for Future Computing and Beyond Computing”
(Tuesday, June 11th 18:30 – 20:00)
During the past several decades, supercomputing speeds have gone from Gigaflops to Teraflops to Petaflops. As the end of Moore’s law approaches, the HPC community is increasingly interested in disruptive technologies that could help continue these dramatic improvements in capability.
Emerging new fields of information processing like AI are also expected to benefit from new computing technologies.
The aim of this interactive panel will be to identify key technical hurdles in advancing quantum computing to the point it becomes useful to the HPC community and more generally to information processing actors Some questions to be considered are:
When will quantum computing become part of the HPC infrastructure?
- What are the key technical challenges (hardware, software and algorithms)?
- What advanced computing applications might be accelerated through quantum computing?
- Which enhancement will the quantum technology bring to the information processing?
