The main program is organized around 3 connected lecture blocks, each paired with hands-on tutorial sessions, and complemented by colloquium talks highlighting the broader landscape of quantum information science.
Lectures
- Why quantum computation for QFT? (Indrakshi Raychowdhury)
Why real-time dynamics and finite-density physics remain hard for classical methods, and how Hamiltonian formulations with gauge constraints open a path toward quantum simulation. - How to simulate? (Jesse Stryker)
From QFT Hamiltonians to executable quantum workflows: qubit encodings, state preparation, real-time evolution, observable estimation, correlation functions, and representative toy model implementations. - How to trust the results? (Xiaoyang Wang)
Noise, measurement, error mitigation, validation, symmetry checks, and the interpretation of quantum-simulation outputs as physical predictions rather than just circuit results.
Colloquium Day (with IBS Clusters)
In addition, our colloquium day speakers will feature a series of broader talks by invited speakers from different areas of quantum information science, providing participants with a wider view of current experimental platforms, interdisciplinary developments, and emerging directions beyond the lecture curriculum.
Tutorial Sessions
The lecture blocks will be complemented by substantial tutorial sessions built around representative toy models, using Qiskit to construct and execute quantum circuits primarily on classical simulators, with selected demonstrations on real quantum hardware. Preliminary tutorial material on basic QC will also be provided here in advance with local organizers and lecturers
