  Q-Works

  24 Aug 2026 — 25 Aug 2026

  Pisa

  As quantum computers are starting to be integrated into HPC facilities, challenges arise across the full stack to ensure effective HPC–quantum cooperation. These challenges range from integrating heterogeneous software stacks, to efficiently allocating and scheduling shared resources, and identifying suitable near-term applications that justify on-premise HPC integration as opposed to exclusive cloud-based access. Q‑WORKS aims to gather HPC and quantum experts to collect the latest advancements in the integration of quantum computers within HPC facilities. The workshop serves as a venue for multiple, sometimes non-intersecting communities — quantum software experts, systems software experts, researchers from hosting entities, representatives from European and nationally funded projects (e.g., EUROQHPC‑I, EuroHPC Centres of Excellence), and hardware vendors — to convene and exchange experiences on integrating and programming quantum computers in an HPC environment.

• 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.

• QEC4QEA Training

  UIK Summer School: Fundamental Science with Quantum Computers and Simulators

  14 Sep 2026 — 17 Sep 2026

  San Sebastián/Donostia

  The UIK Summer School, "Fundamental Science with Quantum Computers and Simulators," scheduled to be held in San Sebastián/Donostia from September 14 to 17, 2026, will offer advanced training on how programmable quantum devices facilitate new approaches to fundamental physics problems. The school will emphasize both theoretical and experimental perspectives, showcasing how quantum computers and simulators can be used to explore many-body physics, quantum information processing, and emergent phenomena beyond the capabilities of classical computation. A key aim is to encourage interaction and knowledge exchange among graduate students, early-career researchers, and leading international experts in the field. The program features major experimental platforms, including superconducting circuits, trapped ions, Rydberg atom arrays, and ultracold atomic systems, along with the theoretical frameworks that connect these platforms to fundamental questions in quantum physics. Topics cover quantum simulation of strongly correlated systems, quantum error mitigation and control, variational and hybrid quantum algorithms, and the use of near-term quantum devices to study nonequilibrium dynamics, entanglement, and quantum phase transitions. Confirmed speakers and lecturers, such as David Hayes, Antoine Browaeys, Andreas Wallraff, Francesca Ferlaino, Luca Tagliacozzo, Pedram Roushan, Antonio Acín, Kristan Temme, Markus Müller, and Hans Peter Büchler, ensure the program spans both experimental and theoretical frontiers.
