Europe is building a quantum ecosystem to leverage the potential of quantum technologies. It is expected that this technology will allow us to do things that are simply not possible today. The European Commission now has concrete plans to build state-of-the-art pilot quantum computers, based on a whole generation of emerging technologies. Similar to high performance computing, this will be the first step in the deployment of quantum computing infrastructure across Europe, on a non-commercial basis.

In this symposium we will not only introduce the concepts and state-of-the-art of quantum computing, but also focus on current applications in the Life Sciences where these new technologies can be used.
