Winners at the MIT Quantum Hackaton iQuHACK 2021 !

3/2/2021

Congratulations to Diogo Cruz, Duarte Magano, and Sagar Pratapsi – PhD students of the Physics of Information and Quantum Technologies Group at Instituto de Telecomunicações, enrolled in the Physics Doctoral Programme of Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), University of Lisbon, under the supervision of Yasser Omar – who won the D-Wave Challenge at iQuHACK 2021 !

iQuHACK 2021, MIT's second annual quantum hackathon, had 219 participants (from 943 applicants) with 49 teams across 12 time zones, 29 countries, and 40 universities.

The fourth member of their team was Óscar Amaro, a Physics master student at IST. Óscar is currently a scholar of the Gulbenkian Programme New Talents in Quantum Technologies, developing research at GoLP/IPFN, under the supervision of Marija Vranic. Diogo Cruz and Duarte Magano are alumni of this extremely competitive programme, which aims at training some of the most talented students in Portugal in Quantum Information Science and Technologies.

Congratulations to all for this achievement!

Luís Bugalho completes his master with highest honours

21/1/2021

Luís Bugalho, who developed his master thesis in Physics at Instituto Superior Técnico on Distributing Multipartite Entanglement over Quantum Networks in our Group, in the context of the QIA – Quantum Internet Alliance project, supervised by Yasser Omar and João Seixas, and in collaboration with Bruno Coutinho, defended his thesis on 21 January 2021, also obtained the top mark 20/20. Congratulations, Luís!

Together with Diogo Pires the day before, and Diogo Cruz in the previous academic year, this means that the last three master students who developed their theses' projects in our Group all got the top mark, a non-trivial and exceptional feat. Congratulations to all!
