During the last five to six years years we have started a large scientific activity on Quantum Computing and Machine Learning at the Center for Computing in Science Education (CCSE), with four PhD students hired since October 2019 and several master of Science students (six second year students as of now). This activity spans from the development of quantum-mechanical many-particle theories for studying systems of interest for making quantum computers, via the development of machine learning and quantum algorithms for solving classical and quantum mechanical problems to exploring quantum machine learning algorithms.
