DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Igancio Cirac\nhosted by Julian Léonard & Maksym Serb
 yn\nAbstract: Advancements in quantum computing have enabled the developme
 nt of small-scale quantum computers that operate according to the principl
 es of quantum physics. One of the most important prospective applications 
 of these devices is the simulation of complex quantum systems\, which aris
 e across many areas of physics and chemistry. Such simulations are notorio
 usly difficult\, if not impossible\, for classical computers\, even the mo
 st powerful supercomputers\, due to the exponential growth of required com
 putational resources with the number of particles in the system. In this 
 talk\, I will first show how both analog and digital quantum devices could
  circumvent this limitation. Despite rapid progress\, however\, applicatio
 ns in this area remain limited\, as current quantum devices are imperfect:
  errors accumulate and pose serious challenges for solving practically rel
 evant problems. I will discuss how\, even in the presence of such errors\,
  near-term quantum computers can already become powerful tools for scienti
 fic discovery. Climate-friendly arrival & departureAn extra shuttle bus w
