Tuesday 18 December ore 10.00. The aim of the workshop is to bring together active and interested people in Quantum Computation as a near future perspective for High Performance Computing. Participants are expected to come from different Italian Universities and Research Institutes in different fields (Physics, Information Theory, Mathematics, Engineering, Data Science, ...) as well as from Companies (Quantum Technology, Information Technology, Consulting, Energy, ...).

The workshop will be held in English, it is free of charge but it is mandatory to register through this website.  The entire event will be also broadcased in live streaming.
