QISS broadened our horizon of understanding and comprehension even further.<\/p>\n<p>Of the speakers, we expected to learn the most from renowned quantum scientist, <a href=\"https:\/\/habib.edu.pk\/qiss2016\/#schedule-2\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Dr. Barry Sanders<\/strong><\/a><strong>, <\/strong>who delivered his talk on the implementation of quantum computers. Personally, I am more inclined towards the theoretical and mathematical aspects of quantum information and therefore, I found his talk challenging yet understandable. It actually gave an abstract answer to a question I was least concerned about i.e. how to physically build a quantum computer.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-version=\"7\">\n<div style=\"padding: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 50.0% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 8px 0 0 0; padding: 0 4px;\"><a style=\"color: #000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BIXfOBWh7cs\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dr.Barry Sanders is giving a public talk at HU on Symmetries: From Abdus Salam&#8217;s Universe to Quantum Information Technology #HUQISS #QISS2016<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\">A photo posted by Habib University (@habibuniversity) on <time style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;\" datetime=\"2016-07-27T13:42:44+00:00\">Jul 27, 2016 at 6:42am PDT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async defer src=\"\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>To acquaint us with the mathematical formalism of QI, <a href=\"https:\/\/habib.edu.pk\/qiss2016\/#schedule-2\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Dr. Sabieh Anwar<\/strong><\/a> from Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) was invited. Dr. Anwar built his case around the very fundamentals and ended by touching upon the mathematics of some of the finest early results of QI, such as quantum teleportation. His talks took inspiration from quantum mechanics thus depicting its intrinsic connection with QI.<\/p>\n<p>I was particularly interested in cryptography and to explore aspects of quantum cryptography by <a href=\"https:\/\/habib.edu.pk\/qiss2016\/#schedule-2\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Dr. Benno Salwey<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 the third speaker at QISS. I had already worked my way through the beginning of Dr. Salwey\u2019s PhD thesis that made me look forward to his talk. Since he had already arrived in Karachi a weekend before the commencement of the conference, with the help of Dr. Rashid I set up a meeting with him during which he told us about his cycling adventure from Germany to China and also answered some of my queries related to his thesis.<\/p>\n<p>A week\u2019s worth of discussions and intellectual exchange of thoughts came to an end with the formal closing of QISS 2016. To celebrate its success, a formal banquet was planned on the last day of the conference. During the couple of hours prior to the banquet, I had a very constructive meeting with Dr. Salwey during which I asked him about some particular insights on his thesis and about the field in general.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2021\" src=\"https:\/\/habib.edu.pk\/HU-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/benno.jpg\" alt=\"benno\" width=\"702\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/habib.edu.pk\/HU-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/benno.jpg 702w, https:\/\/habib.edu.pk\/HU-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/benno-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/habib.edu.pk\/HU-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/benno-620x371.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Our discussion continued over the banquet but its theme changed from technical to more experiential, on the lighter side of life as he revealed his urge to explore Pakistan which also led him include Pakistan on his cycling route. When I asked him whether he was afraid of being in a country where the law and order situation is not so strong, he said that he did not see a connection between media\u2019s portrayal and the actual situation. He was convinced that everyone he met here was of a friendly nature and seemed to be at peace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Syed Affan Aslam:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/habib.edu.pk\/qiss2016\/#schedule-2\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Dr. Abuzer Yakaryilmaz<\/strong><\/a>, the fourth QISS speaker, was a Turkish native lucky enough to escape the crisis in Turkey surrounding the military coup. His field of specialization was Quantum Automata Theory, which understandably is not everyone\u2019s cup of tea. Having said that, I was intrigued by the content of his presentation (mainly) because of my rudimentary training in the (Classical) Automata Theory, which the other participants were devoid of.<\/p>\n<p>An interesting exposure to Probabilistic Finite Automata (PFA) and Quantum Finite Automata (QFA) was something that I was really interested in. It is important to mention that this field is growing and loaded with some important open questions, which Dr. Yakaryilmaz was working on and was ready to share with others enthusiastically. I was also guilty of skipping one of Dr. Sanders\u2019 session for discussing the new dimensions that had been and could be added to Dr. Yakaryilmaz\u2019s emerging field. For a student who wills to pursue theoretical computer science, Dr. Yakaryilmaz was certainly the most valuable asset.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Dr <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AbuYakaryilmaz\">@AbuYakaryilmaz<\/a> presenting a problem for the participants to solve at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/HUQISS?src=hash\">#HUQISS<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/HUQISS?src=hash\">#HUQISS<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vQ6Qn9Z1Y2\">pic.twitter.com\/vQ6Qn9Z1Y2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Habib University (@HabibUniversity) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HabibUniversity\/status\/758524584689864705\">July 28, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Apart from his intellectual endeavors, Dr. Yakaryilmaz was interested to explore the neighborhood where Habib University is situated.
