Welcome to our third Quantum Computing Software Research Day this November!
Join us in Tampere to learn about the results of recent quantum co-research projects and to hear about and discuss potential international collaboration activities with QuNorth, which will operate the new quantum computer Magne in Denmark. You will discover what the research projects under Business Finland’s Quantum Campaign have achieved so far, what kinds of problems quantum computers may soon be able to solve, and what new directions researchers are planning to explore.
Companies can participate in these projects by providing data for researchers to work with, as well as by guiding, monitoring, and learning throughout the process.
We've reserved time in the program for open discussion following the presentations, and networking will play a key role in the event. Please note: the presentations will not be recorded, but presentation materials will be made available after the event.
