The Quantum Digital Twin Masterclass aims to bring together specialists in quantum simulation, tensor networks, and quantum materials to explore the future prospects of large-scale quantum simulators and the development of customized tools for emulating these devices at increasing number of qubits. This event will feature two research-intensive days, bringing leading academics and industry reprepresentatives, to showcase recent advancements in these fields. The presentations will highlight progress in quantum hardware, software, and methodologies for simulating quantum matter — an area where quantum computers and simulators are expected to offer advantages. The masterclass will also include two days of lectures tailored for graduate students and postdocs in quantum technologies and condensed matter physics, providing foundational and advanced insights into these cutting-edge topics. This unique format combines high-level research discussions with an educational component, reducing the barrier for entering the field and faciliating the exchange of ideas for developing new generations of quantum digital twins.
The tentative programme for the event is presented below, listing the lecturers for the masterclass and invited speakers.
The QDT Masterclass event is organised jointly by the National Physical Laboratory, the University of Exeter, and IQM Quantum Computers. The full list of organisers is provided below — do get in touch with us if there are any queries.
