The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at SRM University-AP successfully organised a two-day Workshop on Quantum Computing and Applications, bringing together leading experts from academia and industry to explore the rapidly evolving landscape of quantum technologies.
The workshop provided a comprehensive overview of key domains, including quantum algorithms, quantum-inspired optimisation for 6G communications, quantum error correcting codes, and quantum sensing. Designed for faculty members, research scholars, and graduate students from both within and outside the university, the programme aimed to bridge foundational concepts with emerging real-world applications.
The event featured distinguished speakers such as Apoorva Patel from Indian Institute of Science, who delivered an insightful session on Quantum Algorithms: Particle and Wave Aspects. Dilip Krishnaswamy from Centre for Development of Telematics discussed Quantum-Inspired Optimisation for 6G Wireless Communications, highlighting future-ready communication frameworks.
Further enriching the workshop, Navin Kashyap from IISc presented on Quantum Error Correcting Codes, addressing one of the most critical challenges in quantum computing. Phani Peddibhotla from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Bhopal explored Qubit Implementations and Their Applications in Quantum Computing and Sensing, offering valuable insights into experimental and applied quantum systems.
A key highlight of the workshop was the exclusive hands-on session on Qiskit, conducted by internal faculty. Participants gained practical exposure to building quantum circuits, simulating quantum systems, and engaging in real-time coding exercises, thereby reinforcing their conceptual understanding through experiential learning.
The workshop concluded on a high note, successfully fostering interdisciplinary learning and sparking interest in quantum research among participants. It reaffirmed the university’s commitment to advancing cutting-edge technological education and research.
