FIB Alumni Seminar: Quantum Computing, by Alba Cervera

Seminar: Quantum Computing: Challenges and Opportunities

We invite you to the next FIB Alumni seminar, which will take place on 11th March with Alba Cervera, an expert in quantum computing.

During the conference, we will explore the current state of quantum computing, ongoing research advancements, and its applications across different sectors, both in academia and the business world.

About the Speaker:
Alba Cervera is a senior researcher at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS). She holds a PhD in Quantum Computing and Quantum Information from the University of Barcelona, where she also completed a Master’s in Particle Physics.

After her PhD, she moved to the University of Toronto as a postdoctoral fellow in Alán Aspuru-Guzik’s group. Two years later, she returned to Barcelona as a senior researcher in the Quantic group. Since October 2021, she has been the coordinator of the Quantum Spain project, an initiative aimed at fostering Spain’s quantum computing ecosystem through the acquisition and operation of a quantum computer at BSC-CNS.

Her research focuses on quantum technologies and computing, particularly on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) algorithms and the intersection between quantum physics and artificial intelligence.
