Heike Riel: Quantum Computing - The Path to Quantam Advantage
Despite the continued advances of digital computing including accelerators for artificial intelligence, there are still many important and relevant mathematical problems that are intractable to classical computers. Quantum Computers are a radically different approach and open a new trajectory to evolve computation and enable solving difficult and complex problems. In the past years significant progress has been made toward understanding the scope of quantum computing, pushing its hardware and software technology, developing applications, and advancing error mitigation/correction protocols. An entire new computing system is built from the bottom up.

Advancing the state-of-the-art as quickly as possible requires pursuing in parallel improvements in scale, quality, and speed of quantum systems, as well as simultaneously providing advanced capabilities to exploit the performance and make them easy to use. After a brief introduction I will present the recent developments highlights and prospects of quantum computing.

50 Jaar Computerwetenschappen
In 1974 vierde de KU Leuven het afstuderen van haar eerste lichting studenten in de opleiding burgerlijk ingenieur in de computerwetenschappen. Nu, in 2024, kijken we terug op de diepgaande impact die de computerwetenschappen op ons leven hebben gehad en denken we na over de toekomstige ontwikkelingen ervan.
Doorheen 2024 zal een reeks lezingen ons onderzoek in het verleden, het heden en de toekomst belichten. Deze sessies zullen dieper ingaan op de evolutie van de computerwetenschappen en haar rol in het vormgeven van de samenleving. Bovendien nodigen we het brede publiek uit om met ons in gesprek te gaan tijdens de Open Bedrijvendag op 6 oktober 2024. Op deze dag krijgt iedereen de kans om met onze onderzoeksactiviteiten kennis te maken.
