This lecture series is co-organized by the NATO Collaboration Support Office and the von Karman institute for Fluid Dynamics and supported by the Science & Technology Organization.
Background
The mission of STO is to conduct and promote co-operative research and information exchange. STO consists of a three level organization: the Science and Technology Board (STB), the Panels and the Technical Teams. The Systems Concepts and Integration (SCI) Panel is one of the seven Panels under the STB.
Motivation
Get introduced to the emerging field of quantum computing in fluid dynamics
Learn the state-of-the art of computational methods and software libraries for application of QC to simulation in fluid dynamics and multi-disciplinary optimization
Network and initiate partnerships on international scale
