Please consider also the deadline for sending in questions for our Speaker (next Wednesday). Wishing you a nice weekend, Katia, G?ran and Peter (from the WACQT Graduate School) P.S. Note all the following seminars (from 2nd of October, A. Broo, Astra-Zeneca) will be given on Fridays at 2 PM. From: Katia Gallo Sent: Thursday, August 27, 2020 8:27 AM To: All.non-board.wacqt at lists.chalmers.se Subject: Sept 11, WACQT Industrial Webinar Dear All, We are delighted to inaugurate the WACQT Industrial Seminar series, with our first Speaker: Dr. Azimeh Sefidcon Research Director at Ericsson, giving a talk on the Merge of Quantum Technology and Telecommunication Technology (abstract below) on: Friday 11th of September at 15-16 https://kth-se.zoom.us/j/66653080273 This is the first of a series of seminars organized by the WACQT Graduate School for this autumn, for PhD students and the WACQT community at large. The next one is scheduled for the 2nd of October at 14-15, with a talk by Anders Broo from AstraZeneca. All of you - and PhD students in particular! - are warmly welcome to the webinar and encouraged to submit in advance your questions for Dr. Sefidcon, by emailing them to: gallo at kth.se by the 9th of September. Looking forward to seeing you on the 11th of September, with kind regards, The WACQT Graduate School Team / Katia Dr. Azimeh Sefidcon - Merge of Quantum Technology and Telecommunication Technology Abstract: With the promise of Quantum technology, it is natural that all different domains start reflecting on the impact of quantum technology on their field, so is the case for experts and business leaders in telecom industry. While the effect of quantum technology could lead to super interesting and mind entertaining innovation, it also can fundamentally change the build up of a network and its capabilities. In this talk Dr. Azimeh Sefidcon, Research Director at Ericsson will give an introduction to the technologies being developed by Ericsson and further describe some of the fundamental areas of exploration for meeting point of quantum technologies in telecommunication domain -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The webinar will be streamed via Zoom, Friday 2nd October 2020, at 14:00. I hope you can join us! The invited Speaker is Dr. Anders Broo, Director and Head of Data Science and Modeling, Pharmaceutical Sciences at AstraZeneca who will be talking about Quantum Chemistry on quantum computers an AstraZeneca view Abstract: Chemistry in the core of drug discovery and development in the Pharma industry. One big challenge is how to synthesize the active molecule in the most efficient way. Chemical reactions can be made very efficient if we optimize reaction conditions and have control over all possible side reactions. For each reaction we need to explore a large number of factors to find the best reaction path. We like to be able to explore all possible reaction paths virtually before we go out in the lab and perform the reaction. However, due to the complexity we can not evaluate all possibilities in a reasonable time. Here is where quantum computers potentially could provide a paradigm shift. We like to be able to perform highly accurate quantum chemistry calculation on reaction barriers for all possible combinations of conditions. I will outline the challenge and discuss how far away we are to be able to do use full calculations on a quantum computer.
