QCNorway: The need for a Norwegian quantum strategy

solvese on 8. November 2022

November 7th and 8th, 2022, jointly with Simula, Sigma 2 and Sintef, OsloMet organized a workshop in order to highlight and emphasize the need to establish a Norwegian strategy when it comes to quantum computing.

The workshop featured contributions from several notable experts in the field of quantum computing and more than 80 in-person participants.

All presentations may be found on the website.

Here is the OsloMet Quantum Hub’s own contribution: The OsloMet Quantum Hub: Bringing the Quantum to the People.

Note also this interesting presentation from Shaukat Ali: Time for another Simula

and Umair Imam’s presentation on how Ruter has sucessfully implemented quantum machine learning: How Ruter uses Quantum computing in its machine learning algorithms.

Aleksandar Davidov, Sergiy Denysov and Sebastian T. Overskott at our Quantum Hub are all affiliated with this project.

Andreas Ahlgren at Sopra Steria is a genuine quantum enthusiast. In September 2022 his enthusiasm was merged with that of Lars Nordbryhn at IBM and Sølve Selstø from our Quantum Hub at Sopra Steria’s “Quantumkväll”. Together they presented their perspectives on quantum computing – what it is and how it could be used. It was a pleasure to see that several of Andreas’ colleges decided to join. The enthusiasm seems to be contagious.
