Join us in Padova for ICQE 2025

Join the second edition of the International Conference on Quantum Energy (ICQE 2025), an interdisciplinary conference on quantum science and technology for energy applications. ICQE 2025 will be held in Padua, Italy, from June 3 to 6, 2025, in the historical city centre, 40 minutes from Venice International Airport. Registration is open here. The registration €200 fee includes daily lunch, coffee breaks, the welcome reception, and the conference dinner. Why this even matters We live in a time of urgent energy challenges, from affordable and secure access to net-zero transition exacerbated by information technology’s surging energy demands. Solutions require a cross-disciplinary approach and collaboration between science, innovation, and policy. ICQE 2025 explores the role of quantum science and technology in addressing urgent energy challenges, from material development for net-zero transition to the surging energy consumption of information technology. The conference bridges the gap between disciplines and sectors, bringing together experts from physics, chemistry, engineering, material science, computer science, biology, and more alongside industry leaders and policymakers. The scientific program features the latest advancements from research experts in quantum computing and simulation, quantum thermodynamics, quantum optics and electrodynamics, polaritonic chemistry, quantum chemistry, light harvesting, energy and charge transport, thermoelectricity, and more.  Join the program by submitting an abstract here by February 28, 2025.

Pietro attends the QC4HEP Working Group Annual Meeting, 24th-25th January

Pietro attended the Annual Meeting of the European Working Group for scientific research on Quantum Computing for High Energy Physics applications (QC4HEP). The Event was hosted at CERN, coordinated by Ivano Tavernelli and Sofia Vallecorsa. Pietro chaired the session of the theory roundtable discussion on equilibrium quantum simulations.

Alice and Nora starring in a new video introducing qubits to the general public

Alberto and Daniel visit CERN’s NGT project

Alberto and Daniel joined, together with Lorenzo Borella from Padova’s BOOSTLab group, the “Tensor network and neural network implementation on FPGA” at CERN.They worked with their host, Enrique Rico Ortega, to better understand how tensor networks can be used in the Next Generation Triggers (NGT) project. After five days of workshop, where they shared different expertise, and a visit to the ATLAS experiment, they have gained the knowledge to tackle the next steps.
