Session 3: Quantum Communications, Modelling Noise & Quantum Machine Learning

Join us for the third installment of the Open London Quantum Computing 2026 series, hosted at King’s College London by the KCL Quantum Mechanics Society. This session brings together two lectures from leading King’s researchers and a hands-on tutorial, designed to demystify some of the most exciting ideas in quantum technology.

WHAT IT IS

About this one.

Written by Benjamin Thelen, not by us — this is their description, tidied up and nothing more.

Prof. Roger Colbeck is Professor of Quantum Information Theory at King’s, working on device-independent quantum cryptography, which uses entangled particles to send secret messages with provable security. He is also part of the Integrated Quantum Networks Hub, a national project taking the first steps towards a future quantum internet. He’ll be covering quantum communications.

Asst. Prof. Mark Mitchison is a Royal Society University Research Fellow in King’s Department of Physics, whose research looks at the role of random noise in quantum technologies: can it be suppressed to improve performance, or even harnessed to useful effect? He’ll be covering modelling noise.

Faiez Altamimi is a PhD student in King’s Department of Informatics researching how to test quantum programs, with a particular focus on quantum machine learning. He’ll be running the hands-on tutorial on Qiskit Notebooks.

This event is free and open to students from every London university. No prior quantum background is needed. Please bring a laptop for the tutorial. Places are limited, so register soon to secure your spot.

When: Wednesday, 28 October | 17:00-20:00

Where: King’s College London, STR LG305 (S-3.20)

Open London Quantum Computing is a collaboration between King’s, Imperial and UCL.
