Hosted earlier this month, the quantum science and technology workshop invited 30 students \u2013 aged between 15 and 18 \u2013 from local schools in France and Switzerland.<\/p>\n
The event provided world-class insights into all aspects of quantum science and technology. It was jointly organised by CERN\u2019s\u00a0Quantum Technology Initiative (QTI)<\/a>\u00a0and Finland\u2019s\u00a0QPlayLearn\u00a0team following World Quantum Day 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n Promoting early quantum-physics education is essential<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Alberto Di Meglio, the coordinator of the CERN QTI, believes these workshops will be critical for ensuring the long-term success of the quantum sector.<\/a><\/p>\n He said: \u201cPromoting early quantum-physics education is essential to ensure that we can form a generation of researchers and engineers that is able to develop and use quantum technologies in the future.<\/p>\n \u201cBy allowing students to explore topics that are new or supplementary to their curriculum, in a way that is both accessible and interesting to them, we help build the quantum experts and quantum ecosystems of tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n Su Yeon Chang,\u00a0a doctoral student in quantum computing at CERN, started the quantum science and technology workshop with a lecture about the fundamental concepts of quantum computing and the industry\u2019s challenges.<\/p>\nWhat did the quantum science and technology workshop cover?<\/h3>\n
