Wolfram Quantum Tour – Where quantum theory becomes quantum execution: Last chance to register!
On Thursday,19 November we are hosting an in-person research seminar and hands-on session on the Wolfram Quantum Framework, led by Dr Mads Bahrami, Head of Quantum Research at Wolfram.
Discover the Wolfram Quantum Framework available with your licence and see how it supports the entire quantum computing workflow, from the symbolic formulation of quantum algorithms and circuit simulation to running experiments on real quantum hardware. Explore practical applications and new possibilities for your research.
Afterwards there will be an optional “bring your own code” session, supported by the Research IT training team where you can work on your own projects, connect with peers across the University, or try out some of the things demonstrated in the talk.
Virtual Drop-in Help Sessions
Whatever your question, join our virtual drop-in sessions to discuss your research IT issues and problems 1-2-1 with an expert from our team. We can help with everything from using or installing research software, running or creating your own code, research data storage advice, accessing and using our HPC resources and much more. Joining details are on our event page – no appointment is required!
Our next sessions are:
- Wednesday, 18 November 2-3pm

New LaTeX Templates on Overleaf
A ltx-talk template has replaced the beamer template for people making presentations using modern LaTeX flows with \DocumentMetaData. The thesis template has been updated to PDF2, ua-2,a-4f providing improved accessibility in PDFs. The University is the only university on Overleaf with a ltx-talk template and one of ten Universities worldwide with a thesis template tagged for accessibility. If you want to move beyond PDF based delivery, Sphinx and mdBook themes are also available for making HTML materials. Thank you to Prof Alex Casson, School of Engineering for the templates.
