To solve many problems in quantum molecular physics without additional approximations require classical computing methods that scale exponentially with the size of the system, the electronic structure problem and quantum dynamics modelling is a few examples. Newly emerged technology of quantum computing was met with great enthusiasm for providing ways to solve these problems with better computational scaling. Yet, the new technology requires new algorithms. This gave rise to the field of quantum algorithm development for quantum physical applications. In this workshop, we would like to invite experts in the field of quantum algorithms for molecular physics problems to stimulate exchange of ideas between groups that develop different type of quantum algorithms and to promote awareness of the most recent developments. Both academia and industry researchers will be represented to stimulate further possible collaborations between the two sectors. In addition, we would like to invite a few researchers who do not work in quantum algorithms but are at the forefront of development of highly accurate classical computing algorithms in the areas of the electronic structure and quantum dynamics. This will provide clarity on the state-of-the-art techniques in classical computing, which is vital for accurate demonstrating possible quantum advantage in the future.

We wish to ensure an intimate workshop setting, with no more than 20 to 25 participants. If you are interested in attending but have not received an invitation, please contact the workshop organizer before registering.

Sessions typically run mornings and late afternoons, leaving mid-day free for informal collaboration.

Travel to Telluride can be expensive; please assess your own potential travel costs before registering.

Please book your travel plans! The Montrose Regional Airport (MTJ) is the most reliable and convenient airport for Telluride.

Telluride Science can provide lodging starting as low as $215/night during off-peak weeks and as low as $250/night during peak-season at the Mountainside Inn. These affordable lodging options are limited and available first-come, first-serve. To encourage participants to secure affordable lodging, we offer a $100 discount on lodging provided through Telluride Science that is secured before the Early Bird deadline. Additionally, we work with many lodging providers in Telluride and Mountain Village to offer discounts between 10-15% off your total lodging balance. Additional information provided with registration.
