The Danish Quantum Algorithm Academy (DQA Academy) is set up to boost Denmark’s work in developing and testing quantum algorithms and the associated software stack. The Academy supports national efforts by offering scholarships for PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, aiming to establish a strong and internationally competitive community around quantum algorithms and related software libraries. In addition to its scholarship programme, the Academy organises events like workshops, meetings, and guest lectures to foster collaboration and progress in the field, while also building an alumni network to keep past participants engaged.
Working within DeiC’s broader quantum programme, the DQA Academy represents the Q-Algorithm branch, partnering with DeiC’s Q-Access and Q-Competence initiatives to connect to the broader Danish quantum ecosystem. The Academy Council, with members from each Danish university, oversees the Academy’s activities, including the allocation of scholarships and other projects like summer schools, exchange visits, and alumni events. The Council, alongside an expert committee appointed by DeiC, sets criteria for awarding scholarships and evaluates applications.
