Quantum Computing - A general introduction (DESY)

• Alice di Tucci (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY))

This talk provides a foundational introduction to quantum computing, covering key concepts such as qubits, superposition, and entanglement. We will explore how quantum computing differs from classical approaches, highlighting its potential for tackling complex challenges in for example optimization, cryptography, and fundamental science. The presentation will also provide a high-level overview of the current quantum computing landscape, including advancements in quantum hardware, software, and the growing ecosystem of technologies. This session is designed to offer a clear and accessible entry point for those new to quantum computing, as well as a framework for understanding its practical applications and future potential.

Diamond Quibits for Everyone: NV-Center Quantum Computing (XeeDQ)

• Julian Rickert (XeeDQ)

In this presentation, I will introduce quantum computing with diamond-based qubits, focusing on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers. NV-based quantum computers operate at room temperature and ambient pressure in compact, mobile devices, making them a cost-effective and accessible alternative to other platforms. I will discuss how our work at XeedQ aims to democratize quantum computing by making these systems available for research, education, and practical applications. Additionally, I will compare NV-based quantum computing with other state-of-the-art quantum computers and share our approach to scaling NV systems to larger qubit numbers.
