[data_science_and_quantum_computing] Fwd: Canada-Helmholtz Working Groups on Quantum and Scientific Computing: invitation and mailing lists

[Oliver Stelzer-Chilton]

FYI, Apologies if you receive this twice.

Best regards,

Oliver

Dear colleagues, 

as a result of the recent “Data Science and Quantum Computing” workshop at TRIUMF ( https://datascience.triumf.ca/index.html <https://datascience.triumf.ca/index.html> ), it was agreed establish working groups to further increase German-Canadian cooperation in these swiftly developing fields. We consequently propose the creation of the following three working groups that are geared towards establishing German-Canadian networks, but are open to international collaborators. We invite you and your collaborators (whom to inform we kindly ask you) to join them by subscribing to the relevant mailing lists that we introduce below: 
·       Quantum Computing: This working group will investigate the MOU partners’ potential for developments and applications of quantum computing methods in their respective fields of research and in close cooperation with industry. The scope of tasks ranges from theoretical studies and simulations of quantum systems over the development of new technologies based on the theoretical insights gained to the construction of quantum computing hardware. Applications are foreseen, among others fields, in lattice QCD and other fields of particle physics. Mailing list: sc-quantcom at desy.de <mailto:sc-quantcom at desy.de> (the “sc” stands for “scientific computing”). 

·       Large-Scale Computing: The working group on large-scale computing will contemplate classical HPC and HTC computing systems, and combination and development. Topics are, for example, large-scale simulations and algorithms for HPC systems and their implementation, or parallel / multi-threaded computing on multi-core HTC systems. Also the use of GPus is an issue to be discussed by the group. Mailing list: sc-largescale at desy.de <mailto:sc-largescale at desy.de>
·       Machine Learning and Big Data Analytics: This working group will focus on the development of methods for machine learning, or more generally artificial intelligence, on the application of these methods in our field of research, and on the mutual benefit between basic development and the application world. Mailing list: sc-bigdata at desy.de <mailto:sc-bigdata at desy.de>
A fourth working group on “Data Management” is still being discussed. 

In order to subscribe to any of these, please send an empty mail to sympa at desy.de <mailto:sympa at desy.de> with the subjectline 

SUBSCRIBE sc-XXXXXX [yourfirstname] [yourname] 

Replace the “XXXXX" with either “quantcom”, “largescale” or “bigdata”. The entries [yourfirstname] and [name] are optional. 

We aim for a first (virtual) meeting of the working groups in November by phone / video and consecutive meeitngs until around May or June 2019, when a second Canada-Helmholtz workshop will be held in Germany. 

We are now looking forward to many subscribers and to active collaboration in our working groups. 

Kind regards
Jens Dilling, Volker Gülzow, Joachim Mnich, Thomas Schörner, Oliver Stelzer-Chilton
