CIUK25 card
Our colleagues are part of two sessions this afternoon at #CIUK25:
- Overview of the NetworkPlus Programme
- From ExCALIBUR to DRI, linking the UK's compute programmes.
They're also at the stands for CAKE and ARCHER2-Cirrus. Come and say hello! edin.ac/4pR8dpL

The ExCALIBUR/DRI session at #CIUK2025 is continuing with talks from current DRI projects. We have SCALE-UP, SHAREing, NFCS and CaSDaR on stage.
Slide explaining in diagrams what different types of alloy are. Soeaker standing on right
Alloys explained ...
#CIUK next talk from Hubert Naguszewski (Warwick) on numerical simulation of alloys. A hard problem to do well with Monte Carlo. Compare method with quantum annealing methods in www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
This article suggests the possibility of training AI on pre-existing proposals and their review reports, scores and related decisions. I.e. training them on a system which is known to preferentially award larger amounts of money to white men. What could possibly go wrong?

#CIUK day two kicked off with the @whpcanz.bsky.social breakfast, now Jason Nucciarone and Dominic Sloan-Murphy telling us about Ubuntu HPC
large projected slide showing the Jupiter HPC spec card with banners in the CIUK logo either side, man in glasses bottom right talking about it
#CIUK kicked off in the main hall first with Paul Walker explaining how to use immersion cooling in data centres and now Crispen Keable (Eviden) telling us how Jupiter HPC was built
Weronika from @epcc.bsky.social kicks off the Understanding dRTP landscape breakout at #CIUK25, the first of several #DRI project breakouts and sessions this week. Led by CHARTERED, DisCouRSE and SCALE-UP the session is exploring dRTP roles and progression
Conference stall with two Conputational Abilities Knowledge Exchange (CAKE) banners, flyers, pens, muga and a screen. A man in a blue jumper is arranging the pens on the table.
We are in the process of setting up our stall at #CIUK2025. Looking forward to discuss knowledge exchange in the #DRI community!
3 men facing a poster with lots of text on it and some diagrams
Posters are also good, break was busy with discussions. Asa explaining his joint work with @spacetimelassie.bsky.social on benchmarking @dwavequantum.bsky.social systems

Screen projected saying CoSeC with two people at a lectern preparing for a talk.
Getting going in the first session of the 5th CoSeC conference on day zero of #CIUK conference in Manchester ...
Woman on right at lectern with title slide on left saying UK Government's AI Research Resource & 10 year compute roadmap.
Christina Kerr from DSIT last speaker at the HPC-AI conference in Leicester, telling us about the UK government's 10 year compute plans.
🔷 This Webinar explores the fundamental principles of usability and accessibility, emphasizing their vital role in designing effective and user-friendly tools
🔷 This webinar addresses the diverse needs of different user groups & how accommodating these needs enhances software usability for everyone
Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell
We are absolutely delighted that former IOP President Professor Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell has been appointed Companion of Honour, one of the nation's highest honours, in today's #KingsHonours2025
Man in front of a data screen pointing to diagrams of quantum circuits and qubits. The colours on the screen are phone generated resolving the projector alternating colours. It looks black on white to human eyes.
Hans Briegel telling us how to do GenAI with measurement based quantum computing. Lots of MBQC today, Richard Jozsa related it to IQP, and more from Elham Kashefi after lunch at #FQC2025 in Edinburgh, part of the #quantumfringe.

Want to use one of the fastest quantum simulators but hate writing python or C++?
I've just open sourced a project with high level Rust bindings for Qulacs. github.com/quantinuum-d...
Still reasonably unstable but hopefully minimally usable now!
Day 2 of BQIT:25 gets underway with a virtual talk on CV quantum computing from Nicolas Menicucci, followed by talks on write-only quantum memories and quantum chemistry! #BQIT #QETLabs
