Outline

The workshop will be devoted to discussions on its title area understood broadly. Submissions including non-finished ideas to raise discussion are possible and indeed welcomed. Also, well-written tutorials on specific topics can be accepted as contributions.

Call for papers

Authors are cordially welcomed to send their relevant contributions to Zornitza Prodanoff (zprodano@unf.edu) in their preferred electronic format. All submissions will be peer-reviewed and presented orally at the workshop.

Schedule (Tentative)

Plenary talks

Title: Nanoscopic Origins of Quantum Decoherence Title: Strengths and weaknesses of quantum algorithms
Abstract: Quantum decoherence is a critical issue for quantum computation as it affects qubit superposition and output fidelity and is typically due to the coupling of qubits to external fields and environmental variables (i.e., thermal fluctuations, molecular vibrations, and electromagnetic fields). In this presentation, we will discuss the nanoscopic origins of quantum decoherence by examining how atoms and qubits interact through electron interactions and entanglement. Furthermore, we will explore how external fields (magnetic and electric) and thermal fluctuations affect these interactions, leading to a breaking of quantum coherence. We will conclude by discussing potential mechanisms for enhancing qubit interactions to achieve more robust information fidelity. Abstract: There are quite a few computational problems for which a quantum algorithm is known that is substantially better than a classical algorithm. Despite this, large sums of money are being invested in the development of quantum computers around the world. In this overview, we will compare classical and quantum computing, and present reasons to invest and not to invest in quantum computing.
