Abstract

This year CERN celebrates its 70th Anniversary, and the 60th anniversary of Bell’s theorem, a result that arguably had the single strongest impact on modern foundations of quantum physics, both at the conceptual and methodological level, as well as at the level of its applications in information theory and technology.CERN with its Quantum Technology Initiative is looking into how this revolutionary technological change could align with CERN research and collaboration objectives. After a preliminary introduction about the promise of quantum technologies with focus on computing, we will discuss main research directions and results from theoretical foundations of quantum algorithms to application in several areas of High Energy Physics. //////////////////////////////////////// Speaker: Stefano Pirandola

Title: The Evolution of Quantum Networks Abstract: This seminar will present quantum networks as a sequence of successive technological developments, from near-term secure communication infrastructures to future distributed quantum computing platforms. We begin with quantum-safe networks, based on post-quantum cryptography or quantum key distribution, discussing their respective advantages, limitations, and deployment scenarios. We then consider cloud quantum computing, where multiple quantum processors are accessed classically and managed through workload orchestrators. The next stage is represented by quantum-networked clouds, in which local clusters of quantum computers are interconnected by quantum links, potentially involving transducers in hybrid architectures. Finally, we discuss distributed quantum clouds, where remote quantum computers are connected through quantum repeaters, opening the way to long-distance distributed quantum information processing.
