High Performance Computing and Quantum Computing 2019
Nel 2019 il Cineca ha organizzato la seconda edizione il workshop “High Performance Computing and Quantum Computing” con l’obiettivo di riunire ricercatori e professionisti interessate alla tecnologia quantistica e alle prospettive future del settore.
L’incontro si è tenuto giovedì 19 Dicembre nella sede Cineca.
Il tema è stato affrontato sia da molteplici punti di vista disciplinari (fisica, teoria dell’informazione, matematica, ingegneria, scienze dei dati), che da punti di vista aziendali (tecnologia quantistica, tecnologia dell’informazione, consulenza, energia).
