🗓️18/11/2025 Title: Calibrating a 99.9% Fidelity CZ Gate on a Superconducting Quantum Processor Abstract: As superconducting Quantum Processing Units (QPU) grow larger, automated and reliable calibration of high-fidelity two-qubit remains one of the main challenges. We introduce a novel gate error characterization method, which we call the Phase-Averaged Leakage Error Amplification (PALEA) protocol, building on Floquet […]

Speaker: Josu Etxezarreta Title: Advances in low-overhead quantum error correction Abstract: The extremely fragile nature of quantum information implies that quantum error correction (QEC) techniques are going to be necessary to obtain the full benefits that quantum computing offers theoretically. While QEC has been experimentally proven to be effective, it requires significant overheads that should […]

Quantum technologies are poised to redefine industries, revolutionize problem-solving, and accelerate scientific discovery. Accessible quantum education is no longer a luxury but a necessity to ensure inclusivity and innovation across all sectors.

Speaker: Barbara Kraus Title: Cooling algorithms for state preparation Abstract: Preparation of low-energy quantum many-body states has a wide range of applications in quantum information processing and condensed matter physics. Quantum cooling algorithms offer a promising alternative to other methods based, for instance, on variational and adiabatic principles, or on dissipative state preparation. I will […]

**IMPORTANT: The seminar will begin at 5 p.m., not at 4 p.m. as usual.** Title: The energetic challenges of Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computers Speakers: Olivier Ezratty & Yasser Omar Abstract: Olivier Ezratty and Yasser Omar will present an overview of the energetic challenges of upcoming fault-tolerant quantum computers (FTQC). Olivier Ezratty will frame various scenarios of […]

A partir del 6 de febrero, el Centro de Supercomputación de Galicia (CESGA) organiza la BrinQo – Quantum Computing Game Jam 2026, un encuentro interuniversitario de divulgación de la computación y de las tecnologías cuánticas, en el que los participantes crearán un videojuego como medio para explorar y comunicar conceptos relacionados con la temática. El […]

🗓️03/03/2026 Speaker: Ainesh Bakshi Title: Entanglement in quantum spin chains is strictly finite at any temperature Abstract: Entanglement is the hallmark of quantum physics, yet its characterization in interacting many-body systems at thermal equilibrium remains one of the most important challenges in quantum statistical physics. In this talk, Ainesh will show that the Gibbs state […]
