Introduction to Quantum Algorithms by Josep Bosch from Qilimanjaro

Hello friends of Quantum Barcelona! We are delighted to announce a new chapter of our Quantum Meetups. 2023 comes full of surprises, and we open the year with an amazing speaker, Josep Bosch from Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech, who will introduce us to quantum algorithms. This will be the first of two talks on algorithms, and stay tuned, because at the end of the talk there will be an announcement and invitation to a very special event that will take place a couple of weeks later in Barcelona.

Agenda

• 7pm-7:10pm Welcome
• 7:10pm-8pm Introduction to Quantum Algorithms + Q&A
• 8:00pm-9:00pm Networking, beers & pica-pica, sponsored by Qilimanjaro

Talk Description
Quantum computing has been proposed as a very promising alternative to solve certain problems for which classical computers struggle to give a good solution, some of these mathematical problems are of great interest for many real-world applications.

However, in order to take advantage of the quantum properties that are expected to provide a large speedup, we need to build new algorithms based on the rules of quantum mechanics.In this talk we will introduce different approaches that can be taken into consideration when designing a quantum algorithm for a given problem, and the pros, cons and limitations of each one. We will also go through some useful algorithms and subroutines that can be applied for many use cases.

Collaborators
We would like to thank Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech and Barcelona Technology School for making this event possible!
