Quantum computing represent s a revolutionary leap in computational technology\, leveraging the princi ples of quantum mechanics to solve problems far beyond the capabilities of classical systems. The workshop aimed to introduce the fundamental concep ts\, principles\, and applications of this emerging field to students\, re searchers\, and enthusiasts.\n\nThe inaugural session commenced at 10:00 A M in the presence of Dr. Makarand Madhao Ghangrekar\, Director\, NIT Puduc herry\; Dr. Aniruddha Khane\, Associate Dean (Research and Consultancy)\; Mr. M.P. Karthikeyan\, Assistant Professor\, Department of CS & IT\, Facul ty of Applied Computing\, JAIN (Deemed-to-be University)\, Bangalore\, and keynote speaker of the workshop\; and Dr. A. Venkadesan\, IEEE Branch Cou nsellor and Convenor of the workshop.\n\nDr. Venkadesan extended a warm we lcome to the gathering\, followed by Mr. Vignesh Raj R\, Research Scholar and Vice-Chairman\, IEEE SB\, NITPY\, who provided an overview of the work shop. The appreciation address was delivered by Dr. Aniruddha Khane\, who also introduced the new office bearers of the IEEE Student Branch for the academic year 2026–27. The presidential address was delivered by Dr. Mak arand Madhao Ghangrekar\, who emphasized the growing importance of quantum computing in shaping future technologies. The inaugural ceremony conclude d with a vote of thanks proposed by Mr. M. Vishvanath\, Research Scholar a nd Treasurer\, IEEE SB\, NITPY.\n\nThe technical sessions were conducted i n two parts. Session I was delivered by Mr. M.P. Karthikeyan on “Quantum Computing Demystified: Concepts\, Principles\, and Applications.” Sessi on II was jointly handled by Dr. B. Surendiran\, Professor\, Department of CSE\, NITPY\, and Mr. B. Akoramurthy\, Research Scholar\, Department of C SE\, NITPY\, on “Quantum Development Frameworks.”\n\nThe workshop rece ived an overwhelming response\, with around 40 registered participants fro m various institutions across India. The event concluded with a valedictor y session\, during which participation certificates were distributed by Mr . M.P. Karthikeyan\, the keynote speaker.\n\nThe one-day workshop served a s a valuable platform for participants to gain fundamental insights into t he world of quantum computing — a single step toward a transformative te chnological journey.\n\nSpeaker(s): Karthikeyan\, \n\nRoom: Sigma Hall\, B ldg: Vikram Sarabhai Block\, Karaikal\, Pondicherry\, India\, 609609 LOCATION:Room: Sigma Hall\, Bldg: Vikram Sarabhai Block\, Karaikal\, Pondic herry\, India\, 609609 ORGANIZER:venkadesan@nitpy.ac.in SEQUENCE:10 SUMMARY:One-day workshop on “Basics of Quantum Computing” URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/527139 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p style="margin: 0cm\; text-align: justify\; ">The IEEE Student Branch of the National Institute of Technology Puducher ry (NITPY)\, Karaikal\, organized a one-day workshop on <strong>&ldquo\;Ba sics of Quantum Computing&rdquo\;</strong> on October 10\, 2025.
