Conférence / séminaire
TIC
On the occasion of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, the University of Luxembourg, in collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce, organises a series of five quantum breakfasts from June to November 2025. These events aim to bring together experts, researchers, and industry leaders to discuss the latest advancements and opportunities in the field of quantum. The idea is to exchange about the recent developments, the different facets and the acquisition of new skills.
Join us for an enlightening event focused on the exciting world of quantum algorithms. This event is designed for professionals, researchers, and enthusiasts who are eager to explore the potential and challenges of quantum computing. The event will be moderated by Lisa Burke.

09h10 How quantum and classical computers work together
Marko RANCIC,Professor in high performance and quantum computing, University of Luxembourg
Predicted for the first time more than 40 years ago, quantum computers are supposed to solve problems which are intractable to their classical counterparts. Recently, quantum computers have become a reality, allowing to perform smaller calculations, and showing a rapid growth potential by further improving hardware capabilities. In this talk I will reflect on quantum algorithms and how quantum and classical computers team up to solve most complex tasks of today in chemistry, optimization, and physics, just to name a few.
