Next Colloquium will take place on Tuesday, 20th April at 1:30 pm on Teams.
We are glad to welcome the CELLO team, with presentations given by our colleagues Hans van Ditmarsch, Marta Gawek and Mo Liu.
Mathieu d’Aquin, Professor of Informatics specialised in data analytics and semantic technologies at the Data Science Institute and the Insight Centre for Data Analytics of the National University of Ireland Galway, is the next speaker of Loria’s colloquium.
The colloquium will take place on Teams on Thursday, April 1st at 1pm, with a presentation entitled “Data and knowledge as commodities”.
At the heart of this global race involving both public laboratories and private multinationals, the quantum computer, envisaged in the early 1980s by Richard Feynman, winner of the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics, sparked a true revolution. However, amid promises and sensational announcements, it is difficult to know where this technology really stands, and what its actual applications will be. Unlike a classical computer and similar devices such as smartphones, a quantum system does not use binary bits, namely the two values of one and zero. It is based on qubits, which thanks to the unique properties of quantum objects, display an increasing number of different states with the addition of new units. Each extra qubit doubles computing power. However, this firepower is not adapted to all situations.
The European project AI-PROFICIENT (Artificial Intelligence for Improved PROduction efFICIEncy, quality and maiNTenance) is coordinated by the Université de Lorraine and is made up of a multidisciplinary consortium of 10 industrial and academic partners from France, Spain, Belgium, Greece, Finland and Serbia.
