Quantum Workshop
JUNIQ/EPIQ Summer School on Quantum Computing 2026
24 Aug 2026 — 28 Aug 2026
Forschungszentrum Jülich
The Jülich Supercomputing Centre will host the summer school on “Quantum Computing – Applications across Digital and Analog Architectures” from August 24 to 28, 2026. The school is jointly organized by the Jülich UNified Infrastructure for Quantum computing (JUNIQ) and the NRW-funded project Entwicklungspartnerschaft Ionenfallen-Quantencomputer (EPIQ), a collaboration between Forschungszentrum Jülich and the quantum start-up eleQtron from Siegen. Additional contributions are provided by partners from academia and industry, including the QuGrids project and HQS Quantum Simulations. The program combines lectures and hands-on sessions covering gate-based quantum computing, quantum annealing, and quantum simulation. Particular emphasis will be placed on real-world applications in optimization, scientific computing, and energy systems, highlighting how different quantum computing paradigms can be integrated into practical scientific and industrial workflows. Participants will gain hands-on experience using quantum computing resources accessible through the cloud-based JUNIQ platform and will have the opportunity to present their own research interests during a poster session. Participation is free of charge, and the event will take place on-site only.
