High Performance Computing and Quantum Computing 2024
Come ogni anno dal 2018, CINECA e l’Università degli Studi di Milano hanno organizzato il consueto workshop “High Performance Computing and Quantum Computing”.
Giunto alla sua settima edizione, l’HPCQC si conferma come punto di riferimento per la diffusione dei più recenti risultati a livello europeo nel campo del quantum computing e dell’HPC.
L’edizione 2024 ha posto particolare attenzione all’ecosistema quantistico italiano, con un focus sulle startup italiane e sullo sviluppo del quantum computing in Italia, accanto ai contributi di importanti aziende internazionali e istituzioni di ricerca.
