QuSoft

Tenure position opportunity at QuSoft. Below the personal invitation from our director Christian Schaffner. Deadline for applications: September 30th. Details in the post below.

💡 Quantum technology is making a breakthrough. And the Netherlands wants to be at the forefront of this revolution. 👏 The introduction of the new Master's programme in Quantum Computing Science at the UvA emphasizes the strategic importance that the country attaches to innovation in this field. With this step, UvA is taking an important leap forward in training the next generation of quantum specialists. 🧠 John van de Wetering, director of the program stressed the unique position of this program and its relevance in an interview with Folia "There is investment in people who can work in the sector and therefore in programs like ours. While many universities struggle with having enough qualified lecturers who can teach at that level, UvA is in a position of enormous luxury. The UvA distinguishes itself not by focusing on the computer hardware such as chips, cooling systems, etc., but on the software and what you can do with such computers." The program will start in September, with more than 20 students enrolled. 🔎 Read the full article at Folia: https://lnkd.in/eVwkGXPY QuSoft Christian Schaffner Koen Groenland Koen Leijnse Luis Antonio Gómez Pérez Giada La Gala Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica Quantum Delta NL Vania López Kareljan Schoutens #Quantumtechnologie #UvA #Amsterdamsciencepark

✨ Looking back at Stacey Jeffery inaugural lecture.

📣 On 3rd June, Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica and the University of Amsterdam organize a farewell symposium to celebrate the many contributions that Prof. dr. Harry Buhrman has made to theoretical computer science and to quantum computing over the course of his 30+ years in Amsterdam. Last December, Harry Buhrman started a new position as Chief Scientist Quantum Algorithms & Innovation at the world’s largest integrated quantum computing company Quantinuum, based in London. 🤝 The symposium will include talks by close colleagues Lance Fortnow and Gilles Brassard (Université de Montréal), as well as by many colleagues from Amsterdam. ✍ Register here to attend the symposium: https://lnkd.in/dktEpvGZ QuSoft Quantum Delta NL Kareljan Schoutens Christian Schaffner #quantum #research #algorithms #event #symposium
