The Optical Quantum Communications group, from IT Aveiro, is organizing the Quantum Tech Day Workshop. The workshop will deliver the QuantumMining and QuGenome project’s results.
Quantum Tech Day will be held in a hybrid format (in-person and online) on March 30th of 2022, on the amphitheater of Instituto de Telecomunicações, the pole of University of Aveiro (program below).
QuGenome is a research project focused on a secure multiparty computation service supported by quantum technologies to provide secure and fast multiparty private analyses of genome databases to construct Phylogenetic Trees. QuantumMining is a national project which is going to develop a new generation of cryptographic technologies, based on the realization of both high-speed and secure quantum oblivious transfer (QOT) cryptographic primitive.
Program:
14h00 – Quantum Mining and QuGenome Projects by Armando Nolasco Pinto (IT-Aveiro)
14h20 – Privacy and Cooperation in Genomic Medicine by Ana Catarina Gomes (CBR Genomics)
14h40 – Secure Multiparty Computation by Paulo Mateus (IT-Lisbon)
15h00 – Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution – A Practical Approach by Daniel Pereira (IT-Aveiro)
15h20 – Secure Multiparty Computation of Phylogenetic Trees by Manuel Santos (IT-Lisbon)
15h40 – Coffee-break
16h00 – Madrid Quantum Network by Vicente Martin (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid)
16h20 – Quantum Technologies – Huawei Perspective by Momtchil Peev (Huawei Technologies Duesseldorf GmbH)
16h40 – Visit to the IT Optical Quantum Communications lab
17h30 – Closing
The event is open to all and free, yet subjected to mandatory registration to the e-mail: quantum.tech.day@av.it.pt
