Dear users of LRZ, There are still free places for the new Quantum Computing Cirq Bootcamp at LRZ: Cirq Bootcamp @ LRZ Date: Monday, December 16, 2019, 09:00-17:00 Location: LRZ, Seminarraum 1 Registration deadline: Monday, December 9, 2019 (extended!) Lecturer: Alexandru Paler (Google) Further information and registration: https://www.lrz.de/services/compute/courses/2019-12-16_hcrq1w19/ Topics: There are different quantum computing languages, frameworks and toolkits with various programming styles and target audiences. However, for the first generation of quantum computers, Google Cirq<https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fquantumlib%2FCirq&sa...> may be the most NISQ-focused from the available toolkits. Cirq is more of a low level frameworks: it allows physicists and computer scientists to control how their computation will be executed, and to specifically adapt it to the capabilities and limitations of each architecture. Cirq will be the interface to the Google cloud machine. Please bring your own Laptop for the hands-on sessions! Agenda: https://sites.google.com/view/cirq-bootcamps/agenda Please also pass this announcement to other interested colleagues.
