The Quantum Digital Twin Masterclass aims to bring together specialists in quantum simulation, tensor networks, and quantum materials to explore the future prospects of large-scale quantum simulators and the development of customized tools for emulating these devices at increasing number of qubits. This event will feature two research-intensive days, bringing leading academics and industry representatives, to showcase recent advancements in these fields. The presentations will highlight progress in quantum hardware, software, and methodologies for simulating quantum matter — an area where quantum computers and simulators are expected to offer advantages.

We especially invite interested graduate students and postdocs to apply for participation at the four day event, which will also feature two days of lectures tailored in quantum technologies and condensed matter physics, providing foundational and advanced insights into these cutting-edge topics. The unique format combines high-level research discussions with an educational component, reducing the barrier for entering the field and facilitating the exchange of ideas for developing new generations of quantum digital twins.

Due to limited on-site capacity, there will be a selection process for in-person participation. The registration details can be found on the event website. If not selected for on-site attendance, you will have the opportunity to participate remotely. We expect all in-person attendees of the QDT masterclass lectures (4 and 5 March) to bring a poster to showcase some of their current research interests.

The QDT Masterclass event is organised jointly by the National Physical Laboratory, the University of Exeter, and IQM Quantum Computers. The full list of organisers is provided on the event website.
