On June 28, 2026, the Quantum Computing Summer School 2026 concluded successfully, bringing together a large number of high school students, distinguished lecturers, researchers, and experts in the fields of physics and quantum technology. More than just an educational program, the event provided an inspiring academic platform where participants explored one of the most transformative technologies of the 21st century while cultivating scientific curiosity and a passion for innovation.
The program commenced with an engaging lecture by Dr. Nguyen Huu Nha, who guided participants through the fascinating journey from the fundamental principles of quantum physics to the emergence and rapid advancement of modern quantum computing. Building on this foundation, Dr. Huynh Minh Trung introduced students to the fundamentals of quantum programming, illustrating the transition from classical bits to quantum bits (qubits). Through interactive demonstrations and hands-on programming activities, students experienced the core concepts of quantum computing in an accessible and engaging way, fostering an atmosphere of active learning and intellectual curiosity.
In the afternoon session, Dr. Vu Quang Tuyen delivered an inspiring lecture on quantum thinking—the intellectual foundation that shapes the mindset of future quantum scientists. Beyond technical knowledge, the session emphasized critical thinking, adaptability, creativity, and problem-solving skills, highlighting the competencies required to thrive in the rapidly evolving landscape of emerging technologies. The lively discussions and thoughtful exchanges between students and the speaker reflected the participants' enthusiasm for exploring cutting-edge scientific ideas.
One of the program's highlights was the panel discussion, "Quantum Computing and Your Future," moderated by Dr. Tran Nguyen Lan, with the participation of leading experts and guest speakers. The session offered valuable insights into the fundamentals of quantum computing, its real-world applications, global technological trends, and the expanding academic and career opportunities within this rapidly advancing field. Through open dialogue and interactive discussions, students gained a deeper understanding of how quantum technologies are expected to shape the future of science, industry, and society.
Following a full day of learning and discovery, the Quantum Computing Summer School 2026 concluded with lasting impressions on all participants. The program not only equipped students with essential knowledge of quantum computing but also encouraged scientific inquiry, inspired innovative thinking, and strengthened their confidence to pursue future studies and careers in frontier technologies.
The Organizing Committee extends its sincere appreciation to all lecturers, researchers, guest speakers, and participating students for their invaluable contributions to the success of the program. It is our hope that the knowledge, experiences, and inspiration gained throughout the Summer School will serve as a strong foundation for participants as they continue their journey of exploring the exciting world of quantum science and technology.
