PASQAL presents quantum

andbro on 4. April 2023

Dear all,

Tuesday April 18th

we will have the pleasure of having Aleksander Wennersteen PASQAL visiting us. PASQAL is a company that develops quantum computers. One of its founders is Alain Aspects, one of last year’s recipients of the Nobel prize in physics, which was awarded for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science.

Aleksander will tell us about the development work going on at PASQAL.

Snakcs and refreshments will be served. So do let us know if you will come – as soon as you can.

Note that we are in P46 this time.

Do feel free to forward this invitation to anyone who may be interested.

Happy Easter!

2022 Winter Workshop in Quantum Computing

andbro on 28. November 2022

We were very happy to invite you to our event “Kvantesprang og matematikk til Soria Moria” to be held December 12-14 2022, fittingly set to the Soria Moria Hotel in Holmenkollen. The aim of the event was share ideas and discuss topics that will be important for the (near) future related to quantum technologies and mathematics. We also seized this opportunity to celebrate the opening of the OsloMet Quantum Hub and related activities.

In addition to students and staff at OsloMet, we also had the pleasure of having several external experts joining us, including invited lecturers Nadia Larsen, Mårten Skogh and Johan Tunberg in addition to quantum error correction expert Alexander Hüller-Hermes.

Organization committee:
