Quantum computing has emerged as a promising solution for conducting computationally challenging problems much more efficiently, facilitating the native simulation of quantum effects and providing a fundamentally new perspective on computation. However, it must be tested on and applied to meaningful scientific and engineering challenges to demonstrate tangible benefits.
In this direction, and as a culmination of the EUROfusion ENR Work Package “Application of Quantum Computing to Plasma Fusion” — an innovative collaboration between the National Technical University of Athens and Instituto Superior Técnico — the satellite meeting has a clear goal. It aims to engage the plasma physics community in the global quantum initiative by highlighting current efforts to integrate the latest quantum tools, algorithms, and methods into fundamental plasma physics research, magnetic and inertial fusion projects, and related disciplines, ultimately paving the way for future breakthroughs.
The official announcement for the Satellite Meeting can be found on the EPS Plasma Physics Conference website: https://epsplasma2025.com/satellite-meeting/.
The event will take place at the Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (FTMC) in Vilnius, Lithuania. FTMC is where the heart of quantum technologies beats in Lithuania. You can find more information about their quantum initiatives and research areas on their website. The venue address is Saulėtekio av. 3, LT-10257 Vilnius, Lithuania.
The program includes invited talks from international plasma physicists and quantum computing experts, a panel discussion, and a poster session to foster interaction and collaboration, particularly for early-career researchers interested in this emerging interdisciplinary field. To participate in a poster presentation, interested researchers are invited to submit their information via the following form:
