Following the signing ceremony, Prof. Dr. Thuy T. Le delivered an in-depth scientific seminar entitled “The State of Quantum Computing.” Faculty members and students of PTIT were introduced to key topics, including:
- The operating principles of qubits and modern quantum computing architectures;
- Major technical challenges such as decoherence and computational errors, along with approaches to mitigate and control them;
- An overview of fundamental quantum algorithms such as Shor’s and Grover’s algorithms;
- Analysis of potential applications in molecular simulation, large-scale optimization, quantum security, and artificial intelligence;
- Insights into future research directions, training pathways, and international collaboration opportunities in the field of quantum computing.
