On November 5, 2026, Rudolfovo will host the 2nd Slovenian Quantum Computing Forum, bringing together experts to address a critical challenge for organizations considering quantum investment. Dr. David Rabanus from Forschungszentrum Jülich will discuss how to establish in-house quantum computing infrastructure, outlining practical steps for building internal capabilities.
The forum will also feature Jakub Pawłowski from Wrocław University of Science and Technology, who will explore how to close the quantum-classical scaling gap in approximate optimization, a key area of research for advancing quantum algorithms. The event aims to connect research advances with the development of Slovenia’s quantum computing potential.
Slovenian and European Quantum Computing Priorities for 2026
The forum on November 5, 2026, will feature a presentation detailing strategies for organizations to build their own quantum computing infrastructure, a critical step for wider adoption of the technology. Dr. Beyond infrastructure, the forum agenda prioritizes tackling a fundamental challenge in quantum optimization: the scaling gap between quantum and classical algorithms.
His presentation will detail research into hybrid approaches, combining the strengths of both quantum and classical computing to address complex optimization problems more efficiently. Slovenia’s national strategy for quantum computing will be presented by Andrej Vastl, Acting Director-General of the Science Directorate at the Ministry of Science, Education and Youth, providing insight into the country’s specific priorities and investment areas.
Anamarija Meglič, also from the ministry, will outline the broader European strategy for quantum technologies, highlighting collaborative efforts and shared goals across the continent. Representatives from institutions including the Jožef Stefan Institute, the HUN-REN Wigner Research Centre for Physics, and AtomQL will contribute to discussions on development, testing and standardization, all deemed essential for building trust in quantum technologies.
Speakers will also address the social implications of quantum computing, recognizing that responsible development requires consideration of public expectations and ethical concerns. The event’s timing, coinciding with Science Month and World Science Day for Peace and Development, emphasises the importance of connecting quantum research with the broader public and encouraging a dialogue about its potential impact.
