VYZOV Prize winner Ilya Semerikov gave a lecture on quantum technologies at UFU

From March 30 to April 5, the Ural Federal University hosted Quantum Week by Rosatom — Quantum Technologies. Ilya Semerikov, researcher at the Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, deputy head of a research group of the Russian Quantum Center, winner of the VYZOV Prize, gave a lecture at the event.

   

Ilya Semerikov told UrFU students how quantum computing will change the near future and what expertise is required from university graduates.

   

Quantum Weeks is an ecosystem project of Rosatom — Quantum Technologies (JV Kvant LLC) to increase involvement of schoolchildren, students, teachers, university professors and researchers, representatives of regional authorities, development institutions and businesses in the current agenda of quantum technologies. Ural Federal University has become a key partner of Rosatom's Quantum Week in Yekaterinburg.

The topic of the lecture generated great interest from the audience. Attendees had a chance to learn about all the opportunities presented by quantum computers, how young research teams are creating advanced technologies, and how to become member of such teams.

   

In December 2023, Ilya Semerikov won the VYZOV Prize for creating a trapped-ion quantum processor based on qudites, multilevel quantum systems, and demonstration of quantum algorithms. The VYZOV National Prize for Future Technologies is timed to coincide with the Decade of Science and Technology announced in 2022, and is designed to acknowledge breakthrough ideas and inventions that are changing the landscape of modern science and the lives of all people. The Prize sponsor is the VYZOV Foundation for the Development of Scientific and Cultural Relations together with Gazprombank with support of the Government of Moscow.
