What opportunities do current quantum technologies offer, and how can they be used in practice? The answers will be provided on Friday, 27 November, from 9:00 a.m. at the Faculty of Applied Sciences of the University of West Bohemia, during a free series of seminars focused on quantum computing and quantum technologies. The lectures will focus on computing infrastructure and the use of quantum machine learning.

The first lecture, entitled IT4Innovations HPC-QC Infrastructure, will introduce both the classical and quantum computing facilities of the national supercomputing center IT4Innovations and the possibilities for their use. It will also address problems whose solutions combine classical supercomputers with quantum computers. The lecture will be given by Marek Lampart, Head of the Quantum Computing Laboratory at IT4Innovations, who focuses on developing quantum algorithms and their practical applications. He is involved in national and international projects, including Horizon Europe projects and European Space Agency activities.

The second lecture, Quantum Machine Learning in Practice: Classification Using QNNs, will demonstrate how quantum computers can be used, for example, in image recognition. Participants will learn how a quantum neural network works, how it is trained, and how its accuracy is tested. Jiří Tomčala, a researcher at the Quantum Computing Laboratory at IT4Innovations, will deliver the lecture. His research focuses on using quantum computers to solve optimization problems and on quantum machine learning. He has received the IBM Certificate of Quantum Excellence five times; he also participates in the IBM Qiskit Advocate program and publishes his results in leading scientific journals and at international conferences.

Those interested can register via the registration form. The lecture abstracts, including the CVs of both speakers, are available on the Faculty of Applied Sciences website.
