Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery (BIRS)

This workshop will unite several communities of researchers focused on varying parts of the quantum software stack: the translation of quantum algorithms into instructions a quantum computer can understand (i.e., the process of quantum circuit compilation); the design, optimization, and verification of those circuits; circuit simulation; and the extension and scaling of methods to work with the fault-tolerant (error-corrected) devices of the future. The interaction of researchers at multiple layers of this stack will lead to cross-pollination of ideas that enables co-design of all these elements. Furthermore, the novel methods developed, and improvements in their scaling, will further drive quantum computing research and applications, bringing us closer to the solution of today’s most important problems.

The conference will include sessions that will be devoted to different themes, covering foundations and applications, theory and experiment, pure and applied research. Examples of sessions are: Quantum computing and algorithms, quantum dynamics and simulations, quantum thermodynamics, quantum communication and cryptography, quantum sensing and control, quantum hardware and materials.
