Siden 2022 har stipendiat ved OsloMet, Heine Olsson Aabø, undersøkt hvorvidt kvantedatamaskiner kan være nyttige innen helseteknologien, mer spesifikt for å finne optimale behandlinger til en kreftpasient. Ved behandling av kreftpasienter finnes det mange kombinatoriske muligheter gitt et utvalg av tilgjengelige medisiner. Derfor undersøker han om kvantedatamaskiner kan finne optimale kombinasjoner på en mer effektiv …
Kurset Introduksjon til kvanteverda for nyfikne gikk av stabelen denne høsten. Professor Sølve Selstø og studentene håper at flere får øynene opp for kvantefysikken. Selv om emnet, som er et kurs med studiepoeng, kan være spesielt interessant for de som jobber med informasjonsteknologi, passer det for alle voksne. Med kurset ønsker Selstø å vise hvorfor …
The 3rd Krakow-Torun-Oslo workshop, “Beyond Quantum” (November 26–December 1), has now concluded. It was an intense brainstorming week (as always) where the main topic—What’s next?—was discussed. Holmenkollen and the weather provided the perfect conditions for day-long sessions, interspersed with coffee sips and lunch breaks. The main topic this year was superchannels, quantum operations that map …

During his time, he will participate in various Quantum Hub activities, including outreach and teaching. Specifically, he will contribute to our course on Quantum Information Technology, which aligns perfectly with his efforts …
The Arendal week has long since passed. And, in terms of technology, the winner of the battle for attention was quite undisputed: AI. There were, however, some events dedicated to emerging quantum technologies too. Two, to be specific. While few, less than 1 per mille of the number of AI related events, they were very …
To anyone in who happen to be in Arendal Tuesday August 13th: Please join the quantum session at 14.00! We are happy to see GlobalConnect raising the issue of the Norwegain participation in the quantum race, or, rather, the lack of such. They have put together very interesting panels of participans, many of whom are …
From 9th to 12th of June, we had the pleasure of hosting a little workshop on atoms and lasers – and a couple of other things too. This was put together in connection with a visit from our esteemed colleges from Warsaw University, prof. Katarzyna Krajewska (picture), prof. Jerzy Kaminski (prince George amongst friends) and …
Last Wednesday, Quantum Hub had the pleasure of welcoming Prof. Dr. Arthur Kolb, Vice President for Internationalisation and Equal Opportunities from Kempten University of Applied Sciences (Germany). Prof. Kolb showed great interest in our agenda and goals, particularly in the means and strategies we’re using to achieve them. He was especially curious about our two …
Last Tuesday, GoForIT hosted their annual conference. This year’s topic was AI, geopolitics & twin transition. It was a pleasure to see that the quantum agenda was included too. Clearly, Mali Hole Skogen, Technology and sustainability director ICT-Norway and the head of GoForIT, had not forgotten that she was there when Norway went quantum a …
Recently our faculty received funding from Ministry of Education and Research for 8 PhD positions. We are happy to announce that one of these will be allocated to a quantum-related topic. The project is lead by Kazi Shah Nawaz Ripon. We let him explain what it is about: Quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithms (QEAs) are a type …
