About the School

Bridging Asia with Quantum Science

Quantum Computing is rapidly emerging as a transformative field impacting industries like materials science, healthcare, finance, and secure communications. With advances in quantum algorithms and post-quantum cryptography, demand for skilled researchers is growing.

This summer school introduces bachelor's, master's, and early PhD students across Asia to these technologies through lectures by international experts. The programme focuses on hands-on learning with mini-projects, group work, and practical sessions on real quantum hardware.

Students will engage with IBM Quantum, Qaptiva/Bull, and OpenVQE platforms, collaborate on projects, and gain mentorship from scientists spanning France, India, Vietnam, Germany, Thailand, and Australia.
