About the event
Optimization is everywhere. Every time a system needs to find the best solution among an astronomical number of possibilities - in drug discovery, energy grids, financial markets, materials design, machine learning, or quantum hardware itself - it's an optimization problem. The question is not whether optimization applies. It's which tools are powerful enough to solve it. This summer program is your answer. The WISER Quantum + AI Optimization Program 2026 brings three computing methods: classical algorithms, quantum computing, and artificial intelligence, into a single program for tackling the world's hardest optimization challenges. You'll learn how they compare to each other, limits of each one, and how combining them unlocks solutions that none could reach alone. Six weeks of live, hands-on training. Learn from the best.
Program Timeline:
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays 10:00–12:00 US Eastern Time, starting from June 24th and running until the end of July.
