  • NITheP Webinar – Mark Fingerhuth: Quantum open source software development

    Zoom

    Abstract: Open source software is becoming crucial in the design and testing of quantum algorithms. Many of the tools are backed by major commercial vendors with the goal to make it easier to develop quantum software: this mirrors how well-funded open machine learning frameworks enabled the development of complex models and their execution on equally

  • Webinar: Space-based quantum communication towards global quantum network by Prof Juan Yin

    Zoom

    Abstract: Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a theoretically secure way of sharing secret keys between remote users. Previous work has demonstrated QKD along up to 500 kilometres of coiled optical fibre in a laboratory, or from a satellite to a ground station up to 1200 kilometres away. However, real-world application between two users has been

  • Online NITheP Workshop “Quantum Thermodynamics” (23-27 November 2020)

    Zoom

    NITheP Workshop "Quantum Thermodynamics'' 23-27 November 2020,  (Durban, South Africa)   This workshop was initially planned to happen in Durban, South Africa, as a vibrant way of strengthening Quantum Thermodynamics in South Africa, and also to incentive and inspire students. Do to the COVID pandemic, we decided to switch to an online conference/event, as many

  • The 11th CHPC Introductory Programming School and The 3rd NITheP Summer School on the Foundations of Theoretical and Computational Science

    Zoom

    The School will take-on a fully virtual form. The Summer School is jointly organised by the Centre for High Performance Computing (CHPC) of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research and the National Institute for Theoretical  Computational Science (NITheP). This joint effort was specifically motivated by a concept paper of the South African Department of Science

  • NITheP Webinar: Epigenetic modifications in obesity and type 2 diabetes by Yvonne Böttcher

    Zoom

    Abstract: Obesity is a major healthcare challenge worldwide. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were tremendously successful in identifying novel genetic variants associating with obesity only a part of the total variability can be explained so far. Moreover, adipose tissue distribution, especially visceral obesity is accompanied by increased risk for further metabolic conditions such as type
