World Quantum Day 2023: join the global celebration!

World Quantum Day is an initiative from quantum scientists from 65+ countries. It is a decentralized and bottom-up initiative, inviting all scientists, engineers, educators, communicators, entrepreneurs, technologists, historians, philosophers, artists, museologists, producers, etc., and their organisations, to develop their own activities, such as outreach talks, exhibitions, lab tours, panel discussions, interviews, artistic creations, etc., to celebrate the World Quantum Day around the World.

QURECA Launches the Qureka! Box on World Quantum Day to celebrate quantum technology education and outreach

QURECA, the leading company in quantum training and resourcing, is proud to announce the launch of the Qureka! Box on World Quantum Day. The Qureka! Box is a ground-breaking quantum educational toolkit that brings the world of quantum computing to life for a diverse young audience, making it more accessible and enjoyable than ever before.
The second quantum revolution has the potential to bring significant changes in the lives of all citizens through quantum science and technology. Quantum technologies will help to simulate pharmacological interactions, create personalized therapies, produce more efficient and less polluting fertilizers, develop materials that can capture and transform carbon dioxide emissions, and much more.
The Qureka! Box is designed to introduce to high school and undergraduate students, as well as business professionals and the general public, the fascinating world of quantum computing.
The box features interactive game-based hands-on teaching and learning tools in quantum computing promoting maximum engagement and interest while ensuring that nobody is left behind. The box provides a complete set of tools that minimizes the need for abstract imagination.  Click here to read more about the Qureka! Box.

Yudong Cao, CTO and co-founder of Zapata Computing issues statement on World Quantum Day

Yudong Cao, CTO and co-founder of Zapata Computing, issued this formal statement: World Quantum Day is a great reminder to appreciate the progress that has been made in quantum computing and look ahead towards what we can expect. Today, we can see value from quantum AI to solve complex problems, from warehouse processes to novel drug development. We are able to go beyond the existing paradigms of quantum computing and leverage quantum-inspired techniques, such as tensor networks, on classical hardware. Over the next few years, we expect benefits of quantum computing to continue to be driven by quantum-inspired software – and those who start building quantum applications with tensor networks today will be the first to reap the benefits once fault-tolerant quantum computing is available.

EPB Future Ready Institute of Technology to host hands-on quantum science demonstration via YouTube

EPB Future Ready Institute of Technology and Networking at Tyner Academy, Chattanooga State Community College and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) will host Quantum Learning Activities today as a coordinated effort of “Gig City Goes Quantum” to achieve community participation in 1,000+ Quantum Learning Activities by May 31.
WHEN:

  • 1:00 p.m. EST April 14- Press Conference: Attend in-person or watch via www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2O9k2gaSTk.
  • 1:30 EST p.m. April 14– Hands-on quantum science demonstration Qubitekk President, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder Dr. Duncan Earl with students: Attend in-person or watch Dr. Earl present “Why did Albert Einstein call quantum physics ‘Spooky action at a distance’?”via www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eiHv2yYMKU.

Today’s events by EPB of Chattanooga and Qubitekk launch more than a month of educational activities to celebrate World Quantum Day, according to WDEF in Chattanooga. “Gig City Goes Quantum” will kick off at 10 a.m. on Friday at Chattanooga State Community College. It will feature a discussion on ‘The Coming Quantum Age’ by Qubitekk President, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder Dr. Duncan Earl.

World Quantum Day a chance to look in on 5 National Quantum Information Sciences (NQIS) Centers

The U.S. National Quantum Initiative Act (NQIA) is now four years old and the second World Quantum Day – 4.14.23 – is today, Friday.  Yes, it was chosen because the date 4.14 is a rounding of Planck’s constant which is so foundational in quantum mechanics. While WQD activities are only loosely coordinated and lean heavily towards educational outreach, there are a few reports being issued to commemorate the day and demonstrate value.
WQD describes itself as, “an initiative from quantum scientists from 65+ countries. It is a decentralized and bottom-up initiative, inviting all scientists, engineers, educators, communicators, entrepreneurs, technologists, historians, philosophers, artists, museologists, producers, etc., and their organisations, to develop their own activities, such as outreach talks, exhibitions, lab tours, panel discussions, interviews, artistic creations, etc., to celebrate the World Quantum Day around the World.” Click here to read HPCWire’s Senior Editor  John Russell’s reporting on today’s NQIS  events.
