The Hurlingham National University (UNAHUR) acquired the first quantum computer in the Argentine university system. This is the first development of its kind in public universities in the country and the second in Latin America and will be available to institutions across the country.
According to the university, the goal is Boost research and the Training in the latest technologiesThe aim is to democratize access to basic infrastructure for work in physics, mathematics, computer science and frontier technology areas.
“Cybersecurity is not just for large companies, attacks make no difference based on size or industry”
Authoritarians don’t like that
The practice of professional and critical journalism is a mainstay of democracy. That is why it bothers those who believe that they are the owners of the truth.
“Incorporate this type of equipment It is a strategic investment to strengthen the training of students, teachers and researchers of the entire Argentine university system,” he said in a dialogue with Infobae the rector of UNAHUR, Jaime Perczyk.
This is the second development of its kind in Latin America National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM)and from the university they claimed that it was about “further growth, investment in knowledge and training of specialists for the challenges ahead” for the future.
From UNAHUR they declared that the quantum computer will be is available to all higher education and research institutions that join the federal agreementwith the main aim of inter-university education and the development of specialized specialists through a comprehensive postgraduate program in quantum technologies.
“An agreement was signed with other Argentine universities and scientific institutions “Launching a program that makes it possible to share resources, train researchers and expand knowledge of quantum technologies,” the collaboration around the new acquisition was described in detail.
The project that sets priorities Basic research, training and further education of students and teachers as well as academic articulation also has one Federal alliance Collaboration between universities and scientific centers across the country.
To face the project, UNAHUR a network This includes:
-National University of the Northwest of the Province of Buenos Aires
-National University of San Antonio de Areco
-National University of Río Negro
-National University of the Center of the Province of Buenos Aires
-National University of La Plata, University of Buenos Aires
The most sought-after digital profiles in the next decade
-National University of Cordoba
-National University of San Martin
-Arturo Jauretche National University
-National University of Quilmes,
-Scientific Research Commission
-Argentine Physical Association
Along with the installation of the quantum computer, the university has I rented an Amazon cloud serviceso that Argentine teams can access larger quantum computers abroad and thus work in real time on advanced experiments linked to global developments.
The connection with the outside world, together with the new equipment, offers the opportunity to do this Strengthening the training of researchers, facilitating the updating of teaching And establish connections to international scientific systems.
What is a quantum computer?
A Quantum computers It is a Three-qubit hardware with a different operation than conventional computers. Instead of processing information through bits with values from 0 to 1, these developments are They manipulate qubitswhich, thanks to the rules of quantum mechanics, can assume several states at the same time.
This type of development allows, among other things carry out numerous calculations in parallel to solve tasks such as molecular simulations or optimization algorithms in seconds or minutes that would take a conventional computer years.
The use of quantum computers is useful in work such as cryptography, digital security, optimization of complex systems, and the development of new materials and drugs.
