Summer Course on Quantum Technologies
Description
The program is designed to provide a comprehensive immersion in the field of Quantum Technologies, specifically addressing its main areas of development: Quantum Computing and Simulation, Quantum Communications, and Quantum Sensing and Metrology.
Through various didactic and participatory sessions, experts in each development field will share their knowledge to provide a comprehensive and rigorous overview of the current state of development of Quantum Technologies and their transformative potential across various sectors.
Throughout the Summer Course, participants will gain a solid understanding of the underlying principles of Quantum Technologies, while examining potential practical applications that could drive significant innovations across multiple domains. From algorithm optimization to applications in information security, the various opportunities offered by these disruptive technologies will be explored.
Additionally, from a more practical perspective, participants will also be introduced to IBM's development kit, Qiskit, an essential tool for creating, manipulating, and executing programs on quantum devices or simulators. This hands-on experience will allow participants to integrate their theoretical knowledge with the skills necessary to address real challenges in the field of Quantum Technologies.
Objectives
Introducing Quantum Technologies as a new scientific-technological paradigm and presenting its relationship with other emerging technologies.
Present lines of action and general concepts around the main areas of development within Quantum Technologies: Quantum Computing, Quantum Communications, and Quantum Sensing and Metrology.
Presenting IBM's own development kit (Qiskit) with which to design, program, and implement applications for use on quantum computers.

Javier Aizpurua
Ikerbasque, Profesor
Ikerbasque Research Professor at Donostia International Physics Center, DIPC, and distinguished researcher at the University of the Basque Country, where he leads the Nanophotonics Theory Group. Javier Aizpurua gained his doctorate in Physics at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in 1998 for work on the interaction of rapid electrons and nanostructures. After his pre-doctoral stage, he spent two periods as a post-doctoral researcher, one at Chalmers Technology University in Gothenburg, Sweden, and the other at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). In 2004, Aizpurua joined DIPC, the Donostia International Physics Center, as a research fellow, starting to train a nanophotonics group. In 2008 he was awarded a permanent scientific place at the CSIC, taking responsibility for the photonics line of research at CFM, the Materials Physics Centre in San Sebastián, where he worked until 2023. From this year on, he joined Ikerbasque.
