Mathematicians from Karelia and Italy find a new way to optimize quantum computing
Maria Makarova, a young mathematician from Petrozavodsk, completed her postgraduate studies at KarRC RAS and at the University of Trento, Italy. She now works at the intersection of mathematics and computer science in the field of quantum computing. Quantum computers represent the future, the foundations for which are being laid at this very moment, but as yet, these innovative devices are rather vulnerable: the physical features and the complexity of interactions among quantum particles lead to costly calculation errors. Scientists worldwide, including mathematicians from the Institute of Applied Mathematical Research KarRC RAS, are solving problems to optimize such computations.

Aapa mires – a potential joint research interest for scientists from Karelia, Khabarovsk, China
Head of the Mire Ecosystems Laboratory at the Institute of Biology KarRC RAS Stanislav Kutenkov took part in the International Symposium on Conservation and Sustainable Development of Peatland Resources in the Chinese city of Changchun. The laboratory implements studies far beyond Karelia, including the Russian Far East, so there is potential for collaboration with Chinese scientists on comparative mire studies.
