Description
LEADER OF THE GROUP ALGORITHMS AND COMPLEXITY: HARRY BUHRMAN
Our research group designs software for the computing technology of the future, especially quantum computing. Based on the laws of quantum mechanics, which tell us that systems and particles can be in multiple states at once, quantum computing is radically different from computing as we know it. Our quantum software requires fundamentally different techniques and approaches based on superposition, interference and entanglement. Ultimately, our research will result in better, faster and more reliable computer systems for society. Our research group is involved in QuSoft, the new Dutch research centre for quantum software.

Workshop on Semidefinite and Polynomial Optimization (Semester Programme)
Start: 2022-08-29 00:00:00+02:00 End: 2022-09-02 23:59:59+02:00
This workshop is dedicated to recent developments in semidefinite and polynomial optimization, and their applications in combinatorial and continuous optimization, discrete geometry and quantum information. The program (under construction) will consist of invited lectures by experts in the field. It will also feature lectures by younger researchers and ample time will be left for free discussions.
This workshop is co-organized by Jop Briët and Monique Laurent.
Here you can find more information on the program of CWI's Semidefinite and Polynomial Optimization Workshop.
