It allows students and mentors all over the world to meet and work on a project of interest. In QIntern\, I had the pleasure of working with some wonderful and bright students. I not only mentored them but learned from them. We solved a problem of interest\, which we are expecting to be published. It helped me gain experience in mentoring\, added research experience and publication on my resume.\nRitajit Majumdar (Mentor) \nWhat did you like most about QIntern? \nIt was an amazing experience in QIntern2021 as that was my first Internship. Was exposed to some amazing projects and ideas. Very good support and guidance from mentors. What I liked most about the internship is the projects that were showcased which is very innovative.\nTamal Acharya (Intern) \nHow was QIntern beneficial for your experience/knowledge/career? \nIt helped me move forward with research on solving routing problems using quantum computing\, initiate new research directions\, conduct new experiments\, build a research team\, and prepare a quantum computing session at the Warsaw IT Days 2023 conference. Together with my team\, we are still researching and working on publications (both scientific and popular science).\nPaweł Gora (mentor) \n  \nTimeline for the quantum internship | QIntern 2025\n\n19 Apr – 19 May : project proposal submission\n19 May : project proposal submission deadline\n26 May : official announcement of the list of projects\n28 May – 10 Jun : call for interns\n12 Jun – 25 Jun : recruitment phase\n01 Jul – 15 Aug : QIntern 2025\n16 Aug – 17 Aug : mini-workshop for presenting the outcomes of projects\n\n  \nFor any more information\, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at: \nqintern [at] qworld.net \n  \nList of Projects for 2025\nqi25_01\nCryptography in counterfactual communication within a photonics setup\nMentor(s): Muhammad Amad Khan \nqi25_02\nqDrift-based simulation of non-Hermitian quantum dynamics\nMentor(s): Peter Yang \nqi25_03\nEfficient block-encoding of dense matrices via QRAM using the Qrisp framework\nMentor(s): Viraj Dsouza \nqi25_04\nQuantum communication over adversarial channels\nMentor(s): Abhishek Sadhu \nqi25_05\nDesign of quantum-anamorphic encryption against coercive surveillance\nMentor(s): Kumar Prateek; Soumyadev Maity \nqi25_06\nDesign of a quantum classifier for hate video classification in online media\nMentor(s): Kumar Prateek; Simranjit Singh; Vijay Kumar \nqi25_07\nMolecular encoding for quantum machine learning\nMentor(s): Viki Kumar Prasad \nqi25_08\nQuantum computing for civil site design optimizations\nMentor(s): Vesselin Gueorguiev \nqi25_09\nPlay your way into Quantum\nMentor(s): Vesselin Gueorguiev \nqi25_10\nQTagger: quantum machine learning for ransomware tagging and classification\nMentor(s): Simranjit Singh; Mohit Sajwan \nqi25_11\nSolving routing problems using quantum annealing\nMentor(s): Paweł Gora \nqi25_12\nQuantum circuits for open system dynamics: simulating the GKSL master equation\nMentor(s): Haris Ansari \nqi25_13\nQuantumShield: securing IoT against botnets with quantum computing\nMentor(s): Mohit Sajwan \nqi25_14\nFramework for efficient computing in distributed quantum systems\nMentor(s): Abhishek Sawaika \nqi25_15\nQuantum reservoir computing for sustainable time-series forecasting in high-energy physics\nMentor(s): Shalini Devendrababu; Srinjoy Ganguly \nqi25_16\nAutomated design framework for networked quantum artificial intelligence and its applications\nMentor(s): Louis Chen \nThe detailed description of each project is available on the QIntern 2025 GitHub. \nCoordinators of QIntern 2025\n\nAritra Sarkar\, aritra.sarkar [at] qworld.net\nMuhammad Waqar Amin\, waqar [at] qworld.net\nNouhaila Innan\, nouhaila.innan [at] qworld.net\n\nQIntern Team of QIntern 2025\n\nKumar Prateek

A global proclamation by UN and lead by UNESCO dedicated to raising awareness about the transformative impact of quantum science and technology. This talk aims to guide individuals and organizations on how they can actively contribute to this landmark year and participate in the global celebration. \nThis talk will provide a comprehensive overview of the IYQ2025 objectives and highlight the various ways to get involved\, from organizing local events and educational workshops to participating in international collaborations and outreach programs. Attendees will learn about the steps involved in planning and executing successful events\, and leveraging media and digital platforms for maximum impact. \nAhmed Younes is Professor of Computer Science (Quantum Computing) at Alexandria University. He is the founder and leader of Alexandria Quantum Computing Group (AleQCG)\, the manager of the Center of Excellence for Quantum Computers – Alexandria University\, the coordinator of the Professional Master in Quantum Computing and Quantum Information\, the coordinator of QEgypt (QWorld cousin)\, the representative of Egypt in World Quantum Day (WQD)\, and the representative of the Arab States in the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ2025) Steering Committee endorsed by UNESCO. \nHe is the former Vice Dean of Education and Student Affairs\, Faculty of Science\, Alexandria University. The former Manager of the International Scientific Publishing Center\, Alexandria University\, the former Academic Supervisor of the Faculty of Computers and Data Science\, Alexandria University\, and a former Honorary Research Fellow at School of Computer Science\, University of Birmingham\, United Kingdom. \nHe obtained his PhD from University of Birmingham\, United Kingdom in 2004 in quantum circuits and quantum algorithms. He introduced techniques in amplitude amplifications and quantum search algorithms\, known as “Partial Diffusion” and made contributions in representing Quantum Boolean circuits as Reed-Muller logic. He published many papers in Quantum Algorithms\, Quantum cryptography and Reversible Circuits. \n  \n\n\nDr. Araceli Venegas-Gomez (Founder and CEO of QURECA Ltd.)\nTitle:\nCareers in quantum technologies \nAbstract: In this talk I will provide an overview of the quantum ecosystem\, including public funding initiatives and companies around the world. Next\, I will concentrate in the skills needed for quantum companies and the current job market situation. To finish\, we will look at potential trends and career perspectives in the coming years. \nThis talk will provide a comprehensive overview of the IYQ2025 objectives and highlight the various ways to get involved\, from organizing local events and educational workshops to participating in international collaborations and outreach programs. Attendees will learn about the steps involved in planning and executing successful events\, and leveraging media and digital platforms for maximum impact. \nDr. Araceli Venegas-Gomez spent several years working for Airbus in Germany and France as an aerospace engineer\, before falling in love with quantum mechanics. She then decided to follow her passion for physics\, and moved to Scotland to pursue a PhD in quantum simulation at the University of Strathclyde. Following discussions with the different quantum stakeholders she had over the last years\, Araceli identified the need to bridge the gap between businesses and academia\, as well as to raise the quantum awareness to the general public. Continuing her work on outreach advocating quantum technologies\, she was named the “quantum ambassador”\, after winning the Optical Society Milton and Rosalind Chang Pivoting fellowship in 2019. \nAraceli founded her own company called QURECA (Quantum Resources and Careers) to create a link between the different stakeholders in the quantum community through a common language\, and to generate global opportunities with quantum technologies. QURECA provides a range of professional services\, business development\, and the solution to the quantum workforce skills bottleneck: the first online platform for quantum training\, to support individuals and businesses to be part of the quantum revolution. \n  \nApplication for the first QWorld Annual Meeting\nYou may apply for the QWorld first Annual Meeting by filling the application form provided below. \nThe registration form >> \nIf you would like to stay updated about the next QWorld’s events\, follow us on Facebook\, LinkedIn\, and Twitter.\nTo receive direct messages from us\, subscribe to QWorld’s newsletter. \n  \nOrganizing committee\nPaweł Gora\nAurel Gabris\nMariana Filipova\nIni Ukut\nJagjeet Chauhan\nHarsh Mehta\nAbdulmalek Baitulmal\nIan Craig\nAbbas (Omid) Hassasfar\nAgnieszka Wolska \n  \nCode of conduct\nBased on the codes of conduct by Geek Feminism Wiki & TQC. \nOur event is dedicated to providing a harassment-free meeting experience for everyone\, regardless of gender\, gender identity and expression\, sexual orientation\, disability\, physical appearance\, body size\, race\, age or religion.
