We are delighted to announce the launch of the UM6P-Quantum Computing initiative through intense training in the introduction to quantum physics, quantum computing, and quantum coding.

A quantum computer uses the quantum properties of matter, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations. Unlike a classical computer based on classical transistors, working on binary values (coded on bits worth 0 or 1), the quantum computer works on qubits whose quantum state can have several values, or more precisely, one quantum value comprising several simultaneous possibilities. The first quantum processor was created in 2009 at Yale University based on two qubits made of superconducting materials. The UM6P initiative aims to study the technical feasibility of building a UM6P’s Qubits in the coming years.

Students wishing to participate in this training event are invited to contact: Abdelouahad El Fatimy, Hafid Griguer, Rafik El Halimi and Ahmed Ratnani.
