In response to the increased interest in quantum computing and to quantum simulators installed on HEMUS supercomputer, the IICT team delivered another introductory training to QC, held on March 25, 2025 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, in the IICT building, block 25A, room 218.

Quantum simulators are specialized devices or algorithms that use quantum principles of mechanics to model complex quantum systems that cannot be effectively simulated by classical computers. They are based on the use of quantum bits (qubits), which can exist in multiple states simultaneously thanks to phenomena such as superposition and entanglement. Quantum simulators are used to solve problems related to chemistry, physics, and materials science, such as modeling molecules or investigating new materials with unique quantum properties. The goal of these simulators is to accelerate discoveries in various scientific fields by overcoming the limitations of classical computers.

1. Introduction to Quantum Computing – short definition of Quantum Computing and presenting Key Concepts

2. Quantum Computing Principles

3. Basic Quantum Algorithms: Quantum Parallelism, Deutsch-Jozsa Algorithm, Grover's Algorithm, Shor’s Algorithm

4. Quantum Programming Languages: Qiskit

5. Hands-On Program (Using Qiskit): demonstrations on HEMUS

6. Discussion

This training events is a part of  EuroCC2 project training program and is open for general audience (researchers, representatives of industry and PA) interested in this topic. After the training, a lively discussion was held with the training leader, Prof. E. Atanasov.
