  • (New) QAL Open Call for Quantum Application Development

    Deadline: Friday 1 September 2023

    QAL invites researchers who want to explore the use of quantum computers for their scientific use cases to apply for in-kind contributions from QAL members!

    At QAL we are interested in supporting the development of use cases and applications in different fields. We want to understand: how could quantum computers benefit an application? What type of algorithms can we use? What are the requirements and bottlenecks of implementing and executing these use cases? In order to explore these questions, we are looking to further engage with academic use cases and learn together what quantum computing can do for us!
